Molino Library Progessing Toward Opening Date

December 23, 2012

Weeks after the grand opening of the new Molino Community Complex, the Molino Library is making some visual progress toward an opening date.

Furniture was delivered last week for the library.

“We are still waiting on the shelving to be completed, computers installed and books to be transported. Of course there are a lot of little things in order to prepare for opening,” Librarian Pat Rigel said. A specific opening date for the library has not yet been set.

Rigel is also looking for an artist to donate their time to paint a mural on the wall of the library’s children’s area. For more information, contact her at the Century Library, (850) 256-6217.

The Molino Community Complex project included the conversion of the old Molino School in to a library, community center and museum. There was also a new 7,000 square foot facility constructed for the tax collector and property appraiser. The project was funded by local option sales tax monies, with a ribbon cutting held back in October.

    This will be a great thing for our community.
    Many people will benefit from the computers and books available.
