We are pleased to announce that the library has been awarded a "Moose Plate" grant for $20,000 for historic preservation, with this funding earmarked specifically for beginning the process of window restoration in the original Clay Memorial Library building. In addition to preserving our historic windows, this will help to address heat loss, which in turn reduces energy consumption and costs, and increases comfort and sustainability. All work will comply with the Secretary of the Interior standards. We expect to begin this work in the fall.
The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources (NHDHR) provides grants under the Conservation License Plate Program, commonly called the “Moose Plate” program, for the preservation of significant publicly owned historic resources that contribute to New Hampshire’s history and cultural heritage.
