Library renovation complete

The Trustees of the Goodnow Memorial Building recently thanked the select board and Princeton residents for supporting the recent exterior renovation project at the historic library.

The town's contribution of $150,000, the Massachusetts Historical Commission's preservation grant of $47,000, the Friends of the Princeton Library's gift of $5,000 and the trustees' contribution of $24,000 funded the restoration work.

The Goodnow Memorial Building, and particularly the clock tower, are now protected against the elements for generations to come, wrote trustees chairman Jane Weisman in a letter to selectmen. The masonry was repointed, the windows repaired and restored, storm windows were added where needed, the roof was repaired and reinforced and the foundation drainage was improved.

Chenot Associates, Inc. provided all the technical expertise and oversight from the planning stage through completion.
