Palisades Free Library News, May 2012
Building Improvements
The interior and exterior improvements are
continuing at the Palisades Free Library as the
process moves into Phase II. As of this writing,
the architectural plans for these changes are
to be presented at an April meeting of the
Orangetown Zoning Board and then proceed on
to the other boards, pending approval. Phase I,
which included new lighting, renovation of the
A/C system, carpet replacement and new seating,
has been completed, and the two new parking
spaces mentioned previously in 10964 have been
rescheduled for Phase II. We look forward with
anticipation to the addition of functional space
and the benefits of improved energy-efficiency
which will enhance the services provided by the
library, all while maintaining its warmth and
historical charm.
