After years of discussion, deliberation, and lively debate—Woodstockers came together and voted to approve a $3.95 million bond to purchase and renovate 10 Dixon Avenue to transform it into a 21st-century library. Those funds have allowed us to purchase 10 Dixon Avenue and will get us a long way toward transforming it into your new community library.
Still more is needed to get us to the finish line, and we’re hoping you can contribute to our capital fund to make a lasting, positive change in your community.
