The Chebeague Island Library plans to add on to its building to create work space for the island community. In its application to The Recompense Fund for a 2024 grant, the library sought support for hiring an architect and an engineer to design the new space, and received $12,500 for that effort. According to board member Jim Van Fleet, the library’s goal is “to deliver the most cost-effective community workspace addition in 2025.”
