As the community continued to grow and the need for a permanent public library increased, a lot was purchased by a sum of money left to the village by the late Nathaniel Bartlett estate and contributions from residents of the village. From this point on, the library witnessed an overall increase in its collection and use and eventually outgrew its space. The changes in the structure created a building at least three times as large as the original. Since 1965, a meeting and conference room has been completed on the lower level and a fall-out shelter was built according to state and federal Civil Defense regulations. In 1994, computer technology made its way into this Carnegie facility with the implementation of an automation project which changed the way users retrieve their information.
Users now access their information via the on-line catalog as opposed to using a card catalog.
In addition to the automation project, two stand alone computers are now available for users for word processing purposes, accessing multimedia CD ROMs, and Internet access. Audio books and videos have become a welcomed addition to the library's holdings as well. As the library looks to the 21st century, library staff will strive to give residents the competitive edge needed to thrive in today's information world by providing the appropriate technology and resources to meet their cultural, recreational, informational and educational needs.
