This summer, we entered the first phase of turning our aging building into a revitalized, accessible space for everyone: the schematic design phase.

Although construction is not yet funded, this milestone allows the project team to develop a scope and budget agreement that will eventually go before the Board of Aldermen for approval.

So what's the plan? The proposed project involves renovating most of the existing building and enhancing a portion of it with a new addition - the first significant upgrade since it opened 55 years ago.

➡️ Swipe through to learn more about the building's condition, a project overview, statistics on who this space serves, a tentative timeline for the entire process, and how you can get involved.

Then, visit nashualibrary.org/renovation for more details, FAQs, and to share your feedback.

Thanks to our friends at the Turkish Cultural Center New Hampshire for generously sharing their culture, history, and food with us last week!

From a performance by Bekir Sali to a demonstration of ebru art, from samples of treats like Turkish delight to traditional clothing displays, it was an enriching experience that helped us all feel connected to Türkiye and its people. Çok teşekkür ederim!
