Construction of the long-planned new library in the village will start March 15, according to the Friends of the Butler Library, which has been raising funds to avoid using tax dollars.
The group has finally amassed enough money for the building project to get under way, Marilyn Schultz, the group's secretary, said Monday. The Friends, which launched the fund-raising campaign in 1999, has $480,000 in cash and in-kind donations, including materials and labor. About $650,000 is needed.
