Library parking-lot work to begin in July; trustees authorize director to close Library if needed

Wellesley Free Library Board of Trustees · June 23, 2026

Summary

Contractors plan erosion control and fencing July 6, milling and curb demolition July 21, and final paving around Sept 10; the Board authorized the director to close the Library, after consulting the Chair, if construction necessitates closure.

Marla Robinson and Jamie Jurgensen updated Trustees on the Library parking-lot project schedule and access implications. Contractors will implement erosion control and install a chain‑link fence on Monday, July 6; milling and demolition of curbs and pavers are planned to begin Tuesday, July 21 and may require the Library to close early for one long shift; final paving is expected on or around Sept. 10, which also may require early closure.

Jamie asked the Trustees for authority to close the Library if construction required it. Diane Savage moved (Maura Murphy seconded) "to give Jamie permission, in consultation with Marla, to close the Library, if needed, to accommodate the parking lot project." The motion passed unanimously. DPW and FMD will coordinate with the director to maintain book‑drop access; the front entrance on Washington Street will be closed while major construction occurs.
