The Trustees of the Tucker Free Library invite Henniker residents to an information session Jan. 24 at 6:30 p.m., at the library. Snow date is scheduled for Jan. 31. The trustees will share the preliminary results of the feasibility study regarding the future uses and needs of the library. Last March, voters approved an appropriation for a study to determine how best to replace the failing, obsolete handicap access lift in the library and how best to provide a fully accessible building with handicapped accessible/ADA compliant public bathrooms. Representatives from SMP Architecture will present their preliminary findings, engage the community in an open discussion and answer questions.
