“With just a few building modifications, the Silver Lake Station is now able to serve those who need it during this ongoing pandemic,” Rochester Public Library Director Audrey Betcher said.
Federal CARES Act funding helped the city renovate the building, and will also cover operational costs for the next six months.
“As this health crisis continues to worsen, we need to make sure everyone in our community has a safe place to be with access to basic needs,” Betcher said.
