Hazlet Township Library opens after successful renovation project
http://www.app.com
The Hazlet Township Library is now open after the successful completion of a three-month, $122,902 renovation.
The library now boasts new, brighter lighting and new ceilings throughout the building.
The project was completed on schedule and basically on budget, according to Stacey Cherichello, consulting engineer from CME Associates. The architect was PLM Architect of Howell, and the contractor was Peterson and Staeger, Inc. of Keyport.
The project came in just $1,400 over the original estimate of $121,500, Cherichello said. All work is complete except for the hanging of six pendant lights near the circulation desk. Those fixtures are on order and should be installed by the middle of May, according to Cherichello.
Regular hours for the Hazlet Library have resumed:
Mondays and Wednesdays: 1 to 9 p.m.
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Fridays: 1- 5 p.m.
Closed Sundays
Programing at the library will resume in May. Childrens story times will be held:
-- For Babies, 10 to 23 months: Tuesdays, May 3, 10 and 17 at 9:45 a.m.
