Building Renovation Information
UPDATE as of 5/19/2026: Construction is moving quickly. Interior work started in May 2025. Since then, the roof and windows were replaced, entrance ramps were added, sewer and water connections were made, walls were built, and painting has started. Flooring, electrical, finishes, furniture, and final touches will continue through the summer.
Save the date for a community open house on August 6th!
The building at 142 W Lincoln Avenue was built for Nash Furniture in 1956 and turned into Hinckley Medical Center in the 1980s. It served as a medical and dental practice until 2014 and was donated to the library by the Drs. Marwaha in 2020. Now it will become a vibrant new library for the community!
The library board started this project committed to completing the renovation without increasing your property taxes. With a project budget of $2,536,965, we have worked hard to raise funds in other ways. Private donations have reached more than $400,000 so far, and we have received $2,001,500 in grants. Donations are still being accepted, though admission to the donor display is closed.
Charitable contributions made to public libraries are tax-deductible under section 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
