State Rep. Palm Welcomes Bond Funds for Brainerd Memorial Library in Haddam
December 15, 2023
State Rep. Christine Palm (D-Chester) is pleased to announce that the State Bond Commission has approved a bond request of $380,000 for the Brainerd Memorial Library in Haddam. The funds will help with repairs and restoration, a redesign of the Children's Room, additional glass-enclosed meeting rooms, and an updated Circulation Desk.
"As libraries across our nation and here in Connecticut face increasing challenges to their autonomy, it is a great relief that our state has seen fit to support this historic, forward-looking cultural hub," said Rep. Palm. "I congratulate the Library Trustees, staff, and volunteers for their success in this project, and I am grateful to State Bond Commission Chair Rep. Ron Napoli and Gov. Ned Lamont, for their faith in this institution."
Brainerd Memorial Library strives to be a symbol of the town, a magnet for the community, and a gateway for all the world's information and knowledge. To learn more about the library, visit brainerdlibrary.org.
Representative Palm represents the 36th House District, serving Chester, Essex, Deep River, and Haddam.
