Planning & Design Grant

Have heard about the $100,000 state grant the Library received to plan a needed expansion? And about the potential for a construction grant that could fund approximately 50% of construction costs? We were ranked #1 in the state for medium-sized libraries for this grant ground! Plans for a renovated/expanded building were recently submitted to the MA Board of Library Commissioners and are pending review. We expect to find out the amount of our construction grant award sometime in early 2026. Visit the project website to learn more, sign up for newsletter updates, and follow our progress on social media: hansonlibrary.org/building-project

Take a tour the library to learn about the current building's challenges and our plan to address them as part of the renovation. Held every first Saturday from November to May at 10:00 am. Can't make Saturday? Contact us to schedule a different day.
