The Princeton Public Library received a donation from major contributor Jeanne Hutchinson to upgrade its fire suppression system.

Hutchinson and her late husband have provided funds in the past for many major projects at the library, including the heating and cooling system.

The Princeton Public Library’s Lawton Local History Room will be equipped with additional fire protection as the room houses the library’s most valuable items. The library board has agreed to install a fire protection system that will suppress fires using a chemical that will not harm the often delicate and fragile equipment.

The library will also modify the notification system of its fire suppression system. The new notification system will be more reliable and will not initiate a call to the facility contact when the internet connection prevents communication with the household.

An online application and received installation will help provide better communication and the ability to filter notifications accordingly.

The Princeton Public Library, Board of Trustees, staff and patrons recognize and appreciate the entire Hutchinson family in their efforts to make the library a comfortable space for the people of Princeton.
