Load Bearing Problems at Sharon Library

A recent structural engineering report further reduces the load bearing capacity of the historical Carnegie Library to 60 lbs. per square foot. Current state and federal law requires libraries to provide 150 lbs per square foot load bearing capacity, due to the weight of the shelving and materials. The main beam is broken and the 14 foot span to the outer wall is not support by a load bearing column. The supporting column was removed in 1979 during the lower level renovation and not replaced.

The first structural engineers report from 2014 reduced the load bearing capacity to 80 lbs. per square foot with directions to lighten the load. Steps were taken by library staff to reduce the weight at that time. But over the past 3 years, the floor continued to sink.

All shelving will be removed from the upper floor of the Carnegie Library to other areas over the next few weeks, and load bearing columns will be installed in the lower floor to stabalize the broken beam.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.
