Montague Public Libraries Main Branch building project - Updated 9/12/2025

This site is centered on communicating the status of the library project with the community. Updates will be posted as soon as they become available. If you have any questions, please post them in the public Q&A section.

Project Summary & Current Status

We are currently in the feasibility phase. The OPM, Downes Construction, was hired in April, and the architect, Schwartz/Silver, was hired in July. Together, we will be advancing the feasibility study.

The project originally required studying the feasibility of constructing a new library at 38 Avenue A or renovating and expanding the existing library at 201 Avenue A. Based on the site analysis, the Library Building Committee and the Library Trustees unanimously voted to construct a new library at 38 Avenue A!

The information guiding the vote is listed below in the video recording and associated presentation.
