Brighton library to get $2.6 million facelift

TownOnline.com - Local News: Library to get $2.6 million facelift: "The 37-year-old Brighton branch public library on Academy Hill Road is expected to receive a $2.5 million makeover this year, what many agree is a much-needed project.

The third highest in the city in materials circulation, the library will be closed for a year, and area residents are asked to use the Faneuil branch library on Oak Square or the Honan-Allston library on North Harvard Street.

The new building should be completed within one-and-a-half years and will boast new walls, windows, an elevator and ramps for full accessibility."
