After more than a decade of planning, fundraising, and community support, the Garnet A. Wilson Public Library is proud to announce we are having our groundbreaking ceremony Friday, October 9th at 11am. This will kick off Phase One of our new main library facility.
After fundraising $3.4 million of a $5.9 million goal, the library will be able to build the shell of the building and provide multipurpose event space and workforce training meeting rooms, designed to serve as a center for community gatherings, educational programming, job training and meeting space, and economic opportunity.
The groundbreaking ceremony will mark a significant milestone in an 11-year effort to bring a modern, purpose-built library facility to the community. Additional details about the ceremony, including the official date, time, and program, will be announced soon.
