Modern Library
September 14, 1999, voters approved a bond, allowing the new 39,500 square foot library to be built. August 30 and 31, 2002 was the grand opening celebration for the new building, beginning with an elegant gala and silent auction, and culminating with crowds of people anxious to see their new library.
The new building provides space for 150,000 books, 20,000 videos,12,000 talking books and 10,000 compact discs, numerous periodicals and newspapers as well as computers for accessing the internet, databases, and word processing. There are multiple meeting rooms to allow community groups of varying sizes to meet at the same time. Study rooms are available for students. Quiet spaces for reading are separate from more active areas. The library is able to provide more programs for all ages and was built with the future in mind.
