June 6th, 2014 - Groundbreaking!
The official kickoff for construction of our new library took place today amid heartfelt speeches, an emotional glance back to how we got where we are today, and a celebratory look forward to what will surely be a crown jewel in the Salisbury physical landscape and, more importantly, in its cultural and educational landscape. 

The event was chaired by Town Moderator Neil Harrington, and included members of state and local government along with the current library trustees and staff.  A number of energized townspeople were in attendance.  For more information about the library, see the "New Library" link in the main menu.
