“Adopt-a-Piece” to furnish the new library in full swing
“A Mid-Summer’s Eve Stroll” through the Library’s soon-to-be new home on July 19th was not only a festive summer soiree hosted by the Friends of the Library, but also a successful launching of an important campaign to help raise funds for needed furnishings and equipment. The Library’s new location at 707 Third Street on the Historic Kemper Campus is a three-story building that is more than twice the size as the current location on Main Street and offers expanded spaces for all collections—children, young adults, and adults—as well as a Community Room, the Uncas McGuire Discovery Center, and much much more.
