Sign a beam for the new
Clifton Branch Library!
|
|
The new Clifton Branch is taking shape, and Mesa County Libraries invite community members to make their name part of the new building!
A public beam-signing celebration is set for 2:45-3:45 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20, where the community is invited to stop by and sign a steel beam that will become part of the building. The beam-signing celebrates the completion of the new library’s concrete foundation and the raising of the steel structure. The new Clifton Branch is located at 3270 D 1/2 Road, next to Rocky Mountain Elementary School.
