A 7-foot, 75-pound steel beam, colorfully decorated with the signatures of Sharon residents of all ages, was raised and installed April 18 in the new Sharon Public Library.

Residents were invited to the current Sharon Public Library last month to sign the beam before it became part of the new library which is under construction on School Street.

The beam was installed on the west side of the building in the roof.

“The topping off beam is symbolic of the last steel beam to be installed on the new building,” Library Trustee Sarah Windman said as the beam was raised into place.

The new library is expected to be complete by this time next year, Windman said.
