Here’s When It’s All Happening

The big reveal is going down at 2 p.m., so make sure you’re there. But wait, there’s more! They’re throwing a Grand Opening and Ribbon-Cutting Celebration on Saturday, August 24. The Ribbon-Cutting will begin at 10 a.m., followed by a story time and refreshments. Sounds like a blast doesn’t it?!

What To Expect

Visitors will get a chance to tour the new building, chat with library staff, register for a library card, and check out some cool materials. The new branch boasts an impressive collection of over 5,000 materials including all sorts of books and movies.

More Than Just Books

They’ve paid special attention to making the library a great space for our community. This new facility includes dedicated meeting and conference rooms, which we can use for our club meetings or workshops. As for technology, they’ve got us covered with public computers and a self-service scan, fax, and email station.
