~New In Town~

It only took 396 days to get from groundbreaking to the

Grand Opening!!!

We finally have our new library.

It is wonderful.

We wentwith some friends to the Grand Opening Celebration.

We stood out in the cool beautiful Fall day and listened to the

opening remarks about the new library and patiently waited

to see the inside. There were so many people also waiting to

get a look inside that we decided to go the the craft show out

of town for the morning and then see the inside in the afternoon.

It was well worth the wait!!!
