6/26/14 - The Fenton Library could be shutting down in the month of August as upgrades are installed at the building. City officials say the Jack R. Winegarden Library is in need of some modernization, with cosmetic and systemic problems throughout. This summer, the Fenton Downtown Development Authority plans to spend between $160,000 and $180,000 to improve carpeting and paint, rearrange the floor plan of the building, remove walls, and make the library feel less cramped and closed-off. The Tri County Times reports this work should take about four weeks to complete, during which time the library will probably be closed to the public. Right now, it is estimated that the work could take place in August. The DDA is still waiting for bids on the work to come back so a firm price can be established. (TD)
