The story of the library begins nearly five years ago when a group of local residents formed to seriously explore the need for a new library. An empty grocery store, vacant for eleven years was chosen as the best site for a new library. A generous donation of $200,000 from a local family set the tone for a successful fundraising campaign. By 2008, over one million dollars was raised for the library. Construction began in March of 2009. The collection was moved five blocks from the old library to the new in less than a week with the help of volunteers. The library opened for operations on October 19. Cheers!
