The Benton Harbor Public Library has served the community in its present location since 1968. Since that time, little has been done to keep pace with the everchanging landscape of technology and energy efficiency.
The bones of the facility are strong and timeless. The mechanical and electrical systems are long past their life expectancy and failing as well as highly inefficient. This means that tax dollars are being thrown at high energy bills and patchy repairs.
The Board of Trustees has embarked on a journey of rediscovery and renovation for this jewel in the Benton Harbor community.
Plans include an entire updating of the mechanical and electrical systems to keep pace with the culture of today and the future. The energy saved with efficient and working systems will be measurable.
The Children and Teens will have spaces designed for their needs. The Adult patrons will have more quiet space, more computers and greater access to the collection.
The Benton Harbor community will benefit from the planned community spaces allowing for theater productions and art exhibitions.
Join us in making this dream a reality by making a three year pledge of financial support or even a one time or occasional donation. The Library is the heart of the community. Let's keep the dream alive!
