Building Renovation Information
UPDATE as of 5/6/2025: Work has now started on the building renovation project. This month, contractors are working on interior demolition and asbestos abatement. The parking lot across the alley to the north of the building is for construction use only. This portion of the project is scheduled to be completed by Memorial Day.
​
The building at 142/150 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!
​
Extensive renovations are needed to transform this space and the library board is committed to completing the project without increasing your property taxes. Private donations have reached more than $230,000 so far, and with $1,876,500 in grants, we are within sight of our goal. Will you consider a donation?
Charitable contributions made to public libraries are tax-deductible under section 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
