The North Amherst Library is an historic landmark in the village center. The current size and limited parking of the library restricts its ability to expand without incurring great costs. However, because of these site constraints, the structure retains its century-plus old character. The brick foundation is bulging and pulling away from the interior walls. Although presently there is no visible structural damage, the foundation needs to be restored before the structure’s integrity is compromised. As in all cases of private uses of CPA funds, an historic preservation restriction on this building and property will need to be transferred to the Town.
