CLN announces reopening of Athol Library after water damage

ATHOL — The Community Library Network announced the reopening of the Athol Library on Thursday after significant renovations due to water damage caused by a broken pipe in January. 

Since then, the CLN has been navigating insurance claims, disposing of damaged items and packing and storing the library’s remaining contents.

On Oct. 21, the library that was temporarily housed in the bookmobile closed, allowing staff to begin moving the library’s contents back in.  

Extensive remediation, repair and construction efforts have transformed the library spaces. 

The CLN invites members of the public to attend the grand reopening ribbon cutting and celebration from noon to 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Athol Library, 30399 Third St.
