Patrons will find additional programming and much more space after visiting the newly renovated New Milford Public Library, which reopens this week. “It’s going to be a true destination point for the downtown,” said Mayor Pete Bass, while giving a tour of the library to Hearst Connecticut Media. A ribbon cutting to open the library after the $8.5 million project will be held at 10 a.m. on Feb. 18. The $8.5 million renovation project for the library at 24 Main St. was proposed in 2016, yet Bass said the renovation has been “an over 20-year process.” The library building closed in May 2020 to make way for the renovation project, and construction began that June. The library offered patrons curbside service and lobby browsing as well as in-person and online programming while construction was happening.
