Come In Lib To See New Bldg Pics

Stop by the library to see some updated renderings--still a work in process-- of our new building.

"When I look at some of these renderings," says one of the librarians, "it makes me feel like I'm inside the new building and looking down from the second level."

Visit the library and see for yourselves. For comments or questions about the new library project please contact Sam Passey, Library Director, at passey [at] co.uintah.ut.us
