"Windows to our World"
Project to refurbish, replace and renovate the windows for preservation, energy and safety
We are offering an opportunity for you to become a permanent part of the rich legacy of the Fletcher Memorial Library. With community assistance, the library has been able to sustain our budget for 113 years.
Maintenance on a historic facility such as this is very costly. Our board has developed a schedule for major renovations which began in 2000. Now, our windows need attention. Sills are crumbling, panes are broken, the ropes do not work, and the storms have outlived their usefulness. We wish to install UV shades to protect our holdings and interior. We will refurbish, repair and replace as necessary while remaining historically correct. We need all windows in a safe working order as the temperature may reach into the 90’s during the heat of summer, ahh . . . Vermont air conditioning.
Please join us in our “Windows to our World” campaign. We are requesting financial support from you for this project. The project has a start date of July 15th, 2014.
All Donations are Welcome!
Special Opportunity: a donation of $2000 will get your or a designee's name on a small brass plaque, placed on "your" window honoring your commitment to the library. Now, you can have fun with this. A donation may be via a group of friends, a family, a business or an individual. Use this opportunity to honor a loved one, a family or an organization - help us preserve the library. Your only limitation is your imagination. We have 26 Palladian windows to refurbish. Wouldn’t you love to become part of history and claim one?
As Governor Stickney coined at the library’s dedication, Fletcher Memorial Library “is a jewel within our community” and we remain so today. Our library is an architectural gem that is admired statewide.
Spread the word – let’s work together to preserve our "Windows to our World" for future generations. Please feel free to call the library with any questions and ask for Jill (802-228-8921). Or you may reach Dennis Pearson (802-228-8907), trustee, as well.
We Look Forward to Your Support.
