We wanted to share some great news with you. The building permit was issued for Nora’s Library this week! A construction timeline will soon follow. We expect to “break ground” before the end of the year.

Almost as exciting is the news that we reached our fundraising goal! Thank you to everyone who so generously donated to help make Nora’s Library a reality. We were close to our goal after Nora’s birthday in December. And then we received a very special donation from a childhood Skaneateles friend, Anna Longacre, and her husband Jonathan McMurry. Their donation took us over the finish line! We are so grateful to them and everyone else who has supported us.

You can read more about the plans for the library here. We will keep you updated as construction progresses. If you live in the Bay Area and want to see the space in person, please let me and Thomas know. We would be so happy to share it with you.

Nora loved books and one of her favorite things to do was read in the library.
