Construction has started! A big thank you to the Town of Clarkson Highway Department for getting us going before summer reading. The plumbing in the Seymour Library needs new lines to connect our outflow more efficiently. This gets us started. The library will NOT close during this time. The Town of Clarkson has worked around the library and its patrons to make sure everyone can still access the library. Please be mindful of traffic patterns and pedestrians during when entering/leaving the parking lot. We’re hoping this stage gets finished up sometime before May 18th. Our community leaders have prioritized the functionality of the building to keep Seymour great. Let us know if you have any questions!
