We’re excited about how the new children’s library is coming along, and we hope you’ll be excited too!

New flooring has been installed, wall shelving units have been assembled, and rugs and other furnishings have either arrived or are on their way. Just last week, the remaining shelving and display pieces were delivered. When completed, the decor of the room will be nature themed, bringing the outside in as pictured in these digital renderings.

Soon, the library will close for a period so we can move the children’s books and movies into their new homes, and relocate several collections within the main library once we’ve made room. During the closure we’ll also be taking care of some other projects to make the library better than ever. Keep an eye out for a temporary closure announcement before too long!

We look forward to opening the new children’s library – and the refreshed main library – this April. Thank you for your patience as we work on this extended project!
