Automatic Doors for Libraries

Committee: Community Resources

Cost: $150,000

Location: Recommended locations include O’Neill, Collins, and O’Connell Branch Libraries.

Short Description: This project would install automatic doors at multiple branches of the Cambridge Public Library. Automatic doors will help make libraries more accessible to the public.

Long Description:
This project would install automatic doors at multiple branches of the Cambridge Public Library. Currently, O’Neill, Collins, and O’Connell Branch Libraries are without automatic doors, leaving certain members of the population unable to access these branches without assistance. This project would make the public library more accessible to the entire public. Funding would cover 4 doors and necessary upgrades to electrical panels at the three aforementioned locations.
