When Rebuilt, Berlin Library Will Relocate To Nearby Site Purchased By County For $430K

BERLIN – Planning is underway for a new Berlin library to be built on Harrison Avenue.

Mark Thomas, director of the Worcester County Library, said land for the new building has been purchased and an architect has started putting together details of the building and its features.

“It’s the basic planning of the building and where it sits on the site,” Thomas said.

Worcester County purchased a 6.11-acre piece of land on Harrison Avenue for $430,000 last year, according to Kim Moses, the county’s public information officer. In the fall, county officials accepted a proposal from architect Jeff Schoellkopf and JSD Inc. of The Design Group to perform pre-design services at a cost of $39,000.

Thomas said that work was expected to last another month or two, after which library officials will seek funding for a complete building design.
