Library Expansion

In 2007, construction began on the property adjacent to the library at 27 W. Fulton Avenue.  The plan consisted of connecting a 20,000 sq. ft. building to the current 9,813 sq. ft. library.  Upon its completion in 2012, the modern facility featured many new and improved services including:

• Wireless internet capability throughout the building
• A 275 seat auditorium  for library special events, meetings, cultural celebrations, and film screenings
• Gallery space for public artist exhibitions
