New Library Community Resource Center.

We are very excited for our new community library resource center facility! The ground breaking ceremony for the new library will be on Monday, May 16, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. Please join us for this momentous occasion! The first 400 kids to arrive will receive a special keepsake! We expect the facility to be 30,000 square feet. It will feature a children's library, learning labs, an awesome book sorting machine that your kids will love to watch in action, computers for kids, teens, and adults. There will be quiet reading/studying spaces, and a few collaboration rooms discussions, book clubs, computer training, and more! Thanks to everyone who made this day possible!
