Quick context to catch up fast.
Trustees discussed a roughly $300,000-$350,000 project to improve the Children’s Room entrance. The Friends have conditionally allocated $50,000, and the library expects another $50,000 from State Aid, but the Town Administrator did not commit town funding.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The entrance project still needs substantial additional fundraising before it can proceed. Trustees are also monitoring possible changes to regional library network funding, which could increase Swampscott’s dues by about $1,000 if another library leaves the network. The library plans to expand its lending offerings with a projector, USB DVD drive, and discounted telescope, and to restart the Seed Library in spring.
