The Silver City Public Library is going through a much anticipated upgrade. The large conference room has new vinyl tile (MUCH easier to clean), as well as new movable tables and people friendly chairs. Double glass doors are scheduled for installation in the next few weeks.
The Children's area is also being renovated to include a dedicated craft area. The library has hired Karen Little (internal hire) to be the new Children's Librarian. The children's summer programs are just about ready to hatch.
The staff work area has new carpeting and will also get a new glass door, which will help with sound reduction between the stairways and work areas.
