Stop by the Windham Public Library for a look at the beautiful new picnic area, courtesy of Steven Nadeau and his Scout troop. As part of his Eagle Scout requirements, Steven made arrangements with the library and Windham Public Works to raise money and build a picnic table, benches, a covered structure, and crushed gravel foundation at the library. It is a wonderful addition to the library grounds. Thank you to Steven, his scouting troop, and the adults who all worked so hard to make this project happen.
