Gallery: Update on Library’s Transformation Project

Scenes from the lower level construction work, part of the Westport Library’s $19.5 million Transformation Project. According to Paul R. Mazzaccaro, the library’s chief administrative officer, the current work involves drilling pilings to bedrock to support the thousands of books to be moved from their second floor home to the lower level. Pictures from the former McManus Room can still be seen on some of the walls.  He estimated the Library is saving about $1 million by remaining open during construction. Completion is scheduled for late 2019. Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
