Wheldon Memorial Library in West Barnstable was the beneficiary of free labor from the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Department, with inmates taking on a thorough repainting of the interior.

Library Director Victoria Allard said the donated labor was “a huge help for us.” The work accomplished saved the library about $4,500 in labor costs, with phase two and completion to follow in the not-too-distant future.

Allard is especially pleased about having a newly repainted children’s room, as she and the staff are preparing to roll out some new children’s offerings.

County Sheriff Jim Cummings said he especially enjoys assisting on projects that benefit Cape children, “in this case its young readers.”
