Worcester County Library officials provided the latest details regarding a new Berlin library this week as they sought funding assistance from the Town of Berlin.
“We’re really looking forward to working with you,” said Jennifer Ranck, deputy director of the Worcester County Library. “An innovative town like Berlin deserves an innovative library.”
Ranck said library officials were hoping the town would contribute $75,000 toward the new facility, which is expected to cost just under $5 million. The donation, she explained, could be broken up and given over three years and would be used to get a $150,000 grant from the Humphrey’s Foundation.
