Century Library Celebrating 10 Years
April 20, 2017
The Century Branch Library is celebrating 10 years this week.
The town’s former police station was renovated for $375,000 into a 3,000 square foot library. Most of the funds were from the local options sales tax along with a $113,333 grant from IMPACT 100 for the children’s reading room.
A big grand opening was held on April 18, 2007, with local dignitaries and a “BBQ, Books and Balloons” ceremony. The ribbon was cut by then mayor Evelyn Hammond and Century Library Branch Manager Pat Rigel. Rigel has been manager since the day the library opened.
Since that day, the Century Branch Library has recorded 163,041 visits from area residents and has loaned out 144,517 items. The most popular event at the Century Branch Library? Always the Easter egg hunt.
