We're in!

At the end of a long and winding road, the new library for the Greater Vernon community is finally open!  The feedback the staff is receiving is overwhelmingly positive, and while there are a few things that are still being completed (HVAC, lighting, signage are some examples), we're feeling more settled every day.  If you haven't had a chance to drop by your beautiful new library, here are a few photos to provide a glimpse of the interior:

New & Popular area (movies, Quick Reads, some magazines, new books)

Reading area for families in the children's department

Popular chairs in the teen area, just under the main stairs

Some of the public computer stations on the second floor

The magazine and newspaper reading area

Some of the 140 new magazine and newspaper titles - something for everyone!

A view across the opening toward the paperback spinners



A preview of the new branch appeared on the front page of The Morning Star newspaper on May 4th.  If you happened to miss it, you can read the edition online at  http://www.vernonmorningstar.com/ and clicking on the top banner (current and past eEditions), then selecting past editions for May.
