Construction Project Starting Soon!
Construction is starting this month and we are so excited! Renovations include completing the second floor of the library, where 18,000 sq. ft. of space has remained unfinished since the library was built in 2004, creating new interactive spaces for kids, adding more study rooms for all ages, an expanded teen space, and more. For more information, updates, and to track our progress, visit rtdl.org/projects.

While the library is undergoing renovations, there will be limited space for programming and events. We are currently working with local organizations to provide off-site events that are fun and exciting for all age groups. We will refer to these off-site programming event as #LLTB or The Library has Left the Building. Stay tuned! | |
