One Thousand Signatures on the New Library Foundation

Thank you to everyone that came to show support for the new library building during our Foundation Signing Event last weekend. We estimate about a thousand people came out and added their signature to the floor.

We heard oooo's and ahhh's over the huge Children's area, the bright new meeting room huge, and the view from the huge windows. If you didn't get to make it take a look at a few of our event pictures. If you did come see if you can spot your signature!

A special thank you to our volunteers and staff who make these events possible!

We had a lot of families come in and sign together!

Now we hope to have a lot of families come in and read together!
