Library to buy Dale's

New location officially purchased

Staff Reports
The Journal-Register

With volunteers, friends, staff and board members looking on Sunday, the Swan Library of Albion officially celebrated the signing of the purchase offer for the former Dale’s Supermarket on Main Street in Albion.

“This day has been a long time in coming,” said Kevin Doherty, president of the Swan Library Board of Trustees. “It’s time to celebrate this important milestone in realizing our vision of a new library and to personally thank the many people who are making it happen with their overwhelming contributions of time and professional expertise.”

The purchase agreement was finalized Oct. 14 with the Pilon family and library leadership coming to terms after months of negotiations.

Asbestos removal, demolition and environmental remediation are included in the contract and will be undertaken before the library assumes ownership. Closing on the property is expected in November.

A new facility — double the size of the current Swan Library — will replace the grocery store, originally constructed in the 1950s.

In 2008, 306 concerts, lectures, workshops, discussions and other adult and children’s programs were conducted at the library. It also provides computer access and Internet capabilities to users, in addition to a large collection of local historical resources, printed materials, DVDs and CDs for education and entertainment.
