Check out the proposed children's area renovation walkthrough video! We plan to complete 18,000 sq. ft. of space that has remained unfinished since the library was built in 2004. This, along with other renovations, will begin in the fall of 2023.
We will continue to post project news and updates on our website.
Stay tuned, exciting times ahead!
