$15,000 renovation project slated for Milford Public Library
Specific areas to be targeted for renovation at the Milford Public Library were discussed at the monthly meeting of the library's board of trustees on Tuesday, Aug. 5, at the library. A goal of approximately $15,000 has been set by the recently formed Friends of the Library committee for the project. This figure will be reduced by $5,000 when funds are received from the sesquicentennial committee. The organization has been formed to assist in raising funds to help defray the expenses incurred in refurbishing. Becky Doll, who is the chairwoman of the Friends of the Library presented the choices for carpet, wall coverings and furnishings. Doll was given the approval to go ahead with the decorating plans on a motion made by Della Baumgartner and a second by Julia Myers. The floor of the library will require an underlay before a pad and carpet can be laid, because of the uneveness of the wooden floor currently in place. It was decided that the wall coverings will consist of painting, some wallpaper and some wallstenciling around the windows. Blinds will be placed in the window behind the librarian s counter only. Two new leather, wing-back chairs and a table will be purchased for the library, as well as
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Creviston and son Jimmie, Hans Casper, Mrs. Dora Smith, Mrs. Maria Lewark, and Clarence Berry, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
a new counter top for the librarian check-out area. Additional areas targeted for refurbishing include end panels for the present shelving, repair and replacement of plumbing and fixtures, as well as general renovation of the two restrooms, and new shelving in the workroom and in the children’s room.

The levels are Junior (to age 14), $2; Individual, $5; Family. $10; Organization, $25, Contributing, SSO; Sustaining, $100; Benefactor, $300; Patron, S6OO.
