A NEW FACILITY

We do indeed have a new facility.

During the summer of 2008. the Library Board's Building/Expansion Committee checked out all possibilities for library expansion. We looked at available buildings, available building lots and possibilities for expansion within City Hall. Our first choice of buildings was Little Pine Plaza - but, it was not within our budget. In June of 2009. we were given the opportunity to purchase Little Pine Plaza for less than half the sale price a year earlier. With some quick fund raising and borrowing,we were able to put together a financing package that allowed us to buy the building.

During the week of September 7 through September 13 we moved the library in to the new facility. We opened on Monday September 14th.
