Celebratory Open House
Thanks to all who came to our open house on Friday, September 25th, 2009 from 4-7 pm ! If you were unable to attend please stop in and take a tour, or just wander on your own – you’ll discover a whole new re-energized library ready to serve you. Explore the dynamic new light filled interiors, browse our new books and media collections, relax in our redesigned lounges, click around in our dedicated computer center, hang out in the new teen space, and explore the new Children’s Department. Through a collection of photos this site shows the progress of the renovation of the Main Level & Lower Level Children's Area. Learn about the History of the Project here.
