The renovation of front areas of the Library has been completed, and we held our Grand Opening Celebration during the Summer Reading kickoff June 4, 2022. 

Our new NOW Space offers a program room for library events, meetings, and creative space, as well as updates for better American Disabilities Act accessibility, including bathroom door assists and adaptable furniture. Funding for the NOW Space was provided by the Illinois State Library through the On the Road to Recovery: Transforming Library Spaces Grant Program. 

Check out the NOW Space the next time you visit the library:

• Check out one of our new craft kits from a reference desk and create a craft in the NOW Space.
• Reserve the NOW Space for a meeting and use the dry erase boards, podium, and monitor.
• Use the new podcasting suite to record and edit audio and video content.
