The occasion provided the perfect opportunity for the library to publicly announce the installation of its new donor recognition wall. The new structure highlights the most generous, one-time donations the library has received since the opening. Initially, the library opened the Americans with Disabilities Act compliant facility on Aug. 1, 2017. The upgrade was primarily funded through the generosity of the community. These donors are prominently displayed throughout the building.
