Great news! Investments in libraries are investments in the younger generations.
The Century library children’s area has been too small since the day that branch opened. They’ve been trying to put 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound sack there since, what, 2006?
Molino branch is way to loud and sound carries and echos throughout. Some sound deadening with be a huge benefit in making the library a pleasant place to study, read, do homework, etc.
So, how’s that Beulah branch coming along??
