Friends of Weeks Library receive Gannett Community Thrives grant

GREENLAND The Friends of the Weeks Public Library in Greenland received a fundraising boost this week with a $5,000 “A Community Thrives” grant from the Gannett Foundation. Gannett is the parent company of Seacoast Media Group, publishers of the Portsmouth Herald, Foster’s Daily Democrat, Seacoastonline and weekly papers in Maine and New Hampshire. In 2018, voters in Greenland approved $3.6 million to upgrade the 122-year-old Weeks Library building, which was state of the art when it opened in 1898 but had grown so cramped that Friends secretary Stuart Bauder joked, “You had to go outside to change your mind.” Additionally, some Greenland residents were unable to access the old building due to physical disabilities. The new building will be 100% ADA compliant, Bauder said.
