WELLESLEY — The Board of Library Trustees approved a $766,000 parking lot renovation for the Main Library, with construction set to begin summer 2026 and run eight to 12 weeks.

The Board also unanimously approved revised Rules of Conduct and Meeting Room policies, updated procedures for service animal access to comply with State law following a December incident, and voted to endorse the "Our Future Memory" digital rights initiative, requesting a meeting with collaborator Michael Menna to learn more about securing equivalent digital rights for libraries and cultural institutions. ===BRIEF===
