CARROLL
COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
TO
CLOSE FOR RENOVATIONS
Carroll
County Public Library will temporarily close its doors to the public starting
May 28, 2012, for a period of at least three weeks and possibly through the
month of June to allow some major renovations to be completed. After May 26,
library materials on loan can be returned to the Galax Public Library. Items
are currently being loaned until July, in case borrowers are unable to return
them to Galax.
In
September 2010, USDA
Community Facilities Recovery Act Funds were awarded to 129 library projects in
30 states. In Virginia, a total of three
projects were chosen to be funded:
§
Dickenson County - $95,035
§
Bassett Public Library Association -
$50,000
§
Carroll County - $200,000
The Carroll County Public Library was built in 1982, 30
years ago. The current
facility
shows many signs of deterioration.
Renovations will include replacing the roof and windows, updating HVAC units,
repainting the interior, installing new carpet, replacing some furniture and
fixtures, remodeling the public restrooms, resurfacing the parking lot,
landscape improvements, and technology upgrades.
This USDA
Rural Development project
will improve the quality of life and library services for the citizens of
Carroll County. Please celebrate with us as our Carroll County Public Library
receives a face lift!
