Dear Woodstock Friends and Neighbors,

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Since our last fundraising drive in November of 2004, many exciting changes have occurred at our library site!

The Addition Project was initiated to create additional space for the library and to preserve West Woodstock’s first official library, the John F. Williams’ Law Office which was built around 1820 and is an important part of Woodstock’s history.

Our citizens and patrons have contributed approximately $25,000 to this project. The Quinnebaug-Shetucket Heritage Corridor awarded grants of $15,000 (a $10,000 Partnership Grant for the addition and a $5,000 Preservation Grant for the Law Office). A significant amount of native lumber has been donated. Volunteers have given many hours to move the project forward.

With these donations, we have been able to complete Phases I and II. The John F. Williams’ Law Office has been reconstructed on a new foundation saving as much of the original boards, beams and materials as possible. The deck of the connecting addition was constructed, as well as a weather-tight structure which ties the buildings together and a new vestibule has been built.

We are now into Phase III which will pretty much finish the inside of the connecting addition – insulation, sheetrock, window and door trim and flooring. Our best estimate for this finishing job is $19,120 – a good portion of which we hope to get in grants.

That’s where YOU can really help – we need matching funds to apply for these grants so we are asking once again for you send us a contribution to be used to complete our project. Your donation will help us to reach this goal. If you have a preference as to the way your contribution will be utilized, please let us know. Thank you for helping to keep the library a viable part of your community.

Thank you,

Board of Trustees, West Woodstock Library Association
