The Wait is Over! The South Elgin Branch is Re-Opening
Dear Library Community,
After two years of dedicated work, planning and anticipation, we are thrilled to announce that the doors to your beloved South Elgin Branch are finally swinging open! Your patience and unwavering support during this expansion has been truly remarkable.
When you voted to pass the Library referendum in 2020, community feedback emphasized the need for a South Elgin Branch expansion. Since then, it has been our number one priority to fulfill this wish. This hasn’t been just a renovation; it’s a transformation, designed with you in mind. And this transformation reflects our deep commitment to serving you and enriching the lives of all of our residents.
This Branch is more than just a Library; it’s a vibrant hub designed to foster connection, ignite curiosity, and empower lifelong learning for all visitors. Here, you’ll discover innovative program spaces, comfortable areas for collaboration and quiet study, expanded collections, and resources tailored to meet the evolving needs of this amazing community.
It would be our honor for you to join us at our Grand Re-Opening Celebration so that you can experience firsthand the exciting changes, meet our dedicated team, and participate in the festivities planned for this special day.
We are immensely proud to unveil a space that we believe will exceed your expectations.
Thank you,
- Jean Bednar, President, Board of Trustees & Carole Medal, CEO, Gail Borden Public Library District
