New Galesburg Library to be safe for flying birds

The new Galesburg Public Library will be friendly to flying birds after a donation made from the Friends of the Library. The Friends of the Library presented the GPL with a $10,000 check to provide bird-safe glass in the new library. Large windows often are invisible to birds, leading them to fatally collide with the glass. But this donation will ensure the windows are specially glazed so birds can see them while remaining transparent to human eyes. Construction on the new library is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2024. Seven of the large windows are planned to include bird-safe glazing.

The grant was submitted in 2013 and will require several years of follow-up actions in accordance with the grant's rules. The remaining dollars have all been raised locally, including over $1 million unlocked by a 2:1 matching grant through the Galesburg Community Foundation.
