Trustee Meetings

Held in the lower level of the library.

The next meeting is set for Monday, June 3rd. The group will be meeting promptly at 6:00 p.m.

 

Together we did it!  

At the Special Town Meeting held October 24, 2011, the voters resoundingly agreed to transfer money from the Municipal Building Stabilization Fund to complete the funding necessary for final design and construction of a new 21st century library for Granby.

Thank you to all who supported us!  We could not have done it without you.
