The Library Building Program
The Board of Trustees hired Marjorie Judd, a library building consultant, in 2008 to develop the library building program. Ms. Judd worked with the Library Director, staff and the Trustees to gather information on the history of the library, analyze the existing building and how it functions in meeting the needs of the community. She also engaged community members in gathering their feedback on what they expected the future library to provide. This program will meet library service needs of Hopkinton residents over next 20 years.
Read the Complete Building Program:
A community wide survey was conducted in 2008 as a part of the needs assessment. 465 adults and 678 middle school students responded to the survey.
