Wellesley Free Library sets date for main building reopening & celebration

October 29, 2021 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

The Wellesley Free Library’s main building is slated to reopen on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 9am.  The Friends of the Wellesley Free Libraries will sponsor a free event from 11am-3pm that day featuring music, treats, a ribbon cutting, big puppets and children’s activities. 

It’s been a long 6months for the 1,000+ daily visitors who count on the Wellesley Free Library’s main branch as an essential community resource. The 530 Washington St., location has been closed for a $2.8 million dollar renovation since April.

We recently got a sneak peek.
