Share Fair Nation, Education Non-Profit, to Renovate Former Library Building at 455 S Pierce St

Share Fair Nation, an education non-profit founded in 2009, has purchased the former Belmar library building at 455 S. Pierce Street in Belmar to be their national headquarters.

The building was most recently home to the Learning Space, another education non-profit. Under the Learning Space, the exterior facade of the former library was renovated with grant funds to make it more energy efficient. Now Share Fair Nation is working on a complete, down-to-the-studs renovation of the interior.

The building is located on the residential side of Belmar, but its use as a national headquarters will likely be unobtrusive for residents. The bigger question (which has likely already been answered-- so if you know, please post below) is what will happen to the Belmar community garden, which has been using land attached to the building for a number of years now.
