“We’re excited to begin construction and we look forward to working with D.A. Sullivan & Sons, Inc. who has an impressive resume of library renovations in Massachusetts.

Augustus Jr.

The renovation is scheduled to being in the fall of 2019, and will last for approximately 52 weeks.

The Renovation

The renovation project will create a new “front door” on Franklin Street, opening the library up to the Worcester Common, and adding more connectivity between citizens living and working in the downtown area.

It will also increase the library’s footprint by 8,000 square feet, creating more public space, and allowing for a new and exciting Children’s Room on the third floor.
