Information Sessions:
Join us for conversations about this project by attending an Open House or Pop-Up Information Session.
Open Houses will be more of a formal presentation about the process, project and timelines. Questions will be answered and suggestions gathered. These occur at the library monthly on different days of the week.
Pop-Up Sessions will be more informal gatherings to address any questions and gather suggestions regarding the Library Expansion and Community Center Project. These take place at various locations city-wide concurrently with other events.
