Hard to believe we have been in our new digs for a month! We are so happy to make new friends and reconnect with old friends in our brand new space. From excitement over our beautiful children’s services floor to our gorgeous outdoor patio, great study rooms, and your awe at our automated materials handling system, we love seeing you experience this new library.
