Multi-Part Project Completed at Central City Public Library!
The library followed the town’s “under construction” theme: with a MULTI-PART PROJECT that just WRAPPED UP!
The project included: painting of our meeting room, three study rooms, director’s office, and staff work area. Some of the areas had not been painted since the building was built (over 25 years ago). Chair rails were added to the walls in the study rooms. The carpeting in the entire facility was also just cleaned a few days ago. We’d love to have you stop by and take a look at our mini facelift! This project was funded by the library’s endowment fund.
New Paperback Display Rack at Central City Public Library!

This project was accomplished with contributions made to the library during this year’s Go Big GIVE event. Thanks again to everyone who made this possible!
