A Message from Library Director Dana Barber Hello Grundy Library Friends, A note from Mr. Eugene Williams, Grundy Foundation Executive Director regarding changes at the Grundy Library and Museum. Mr. Williams thanks the public for their loyalty, understanding and patience during our 2020 shutdown, and reduced services due to Covid-19 and construction. Recent updates to the Grundy Library include both interior and exterior renovations. When you return to the building, you’ll notice three new study rooms, a snack area for to enjoy your coffee, tea, or a quick bite while in the building, and updated carpeting and paint throughout. Other infrastructure changes include a new and improved elevator, new public restrooms, and a HEPA-filtered HVAC system. Anticipated for completion in 2022 are terraces on each side of the building and spacious rooftop greens on which to relax, read or picnic. Also slated for the street level are perimeter pergolas offering respite from the sun along with tables, benches, potted landscaping, and lighting. Artist renderings of the projected exterior project can be viewed at https://www.grundyfoundation.com/masterplan. Changes at the Museum are equally impressive. Currently open for general and thematic tours, the Grundy Museum has expanded the interior views of Senator Joseph Grundy’s home. Callers visiting the Victorian-era home can do so in comfort with a new HEPA-filtered HVAC system that added air conditioning. Grundy family collections are refurbished and new items were added to the house collections within the home. With the interior finishes in the Library underway, we are optimistic about a June 2021 reopening. Please continue to take advantage of curbside and virtual services for now. Museum tours have officially started! General tour times, dates and further thematic tour information can be found at https://grundymuseum.ticketleap.com/. Dana Barber Library Director |
