The Shute Memorial Library in Everett, MA is over 100 years old and is in great need of renovation. Although it is a solid building and a gem of historic architecture, the infrastructural systems including electricity, plumbing and HVAC are old and in need of repair. Surfaces are worn as a result of age and leaks. Also, the nineteenth century design does not provide for access for wheelchairs or strollers and does not address current needs for technology and audiovisual formats. The State of Massachusetts has awarded the Shute Library construction/renovation project a grant of $2.23 Million towards a total cost of $4 Million. This capital campaign will raise funds so that this project can become a reality.
