Background

The Hampstead Public Library building was built in 1988.

It was not occupied until the Library opened on the first floor in 1994.

The second floor was not heated until the Library expanded to the second floor in 2004.

During the 2004 construction some of the windows on the second floor were screwed shut because the window sills were rotting.
 

Window A has a good sill

 

Windows with rotting sills

Window Configuration

To repair the sill the entire bank must be replaced

2009 Budget

$15,000 allocated in 2009

Plan to replace remaining second floor windows in 2010
