Prospective Location for a Larger Library Announced
In order to meet increased usage and demand, the Victor Farmington Library is proposing the construction of a new library at 160 School Street in the Village of Victor.
The community will vote in May 2022 to approve building the new library. Prior to the vote, the library will hold public information sessions to present the design and gather input. “It is vitally important to us to solicit feedback from the residents of Farmington and Victor on what they want to see in a new library”, says Niver. A successful vote will allow the library to break ground in 2023 and open the doors to the public in 2024.
For more information on the new library project, please visit victorfarmingtonlibrary.org/new-library-project or call 585-924-2637.
