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.
