Groundbreaking set for library expansion

A groundbreaking ceremony for the upcoming Magness Library expansion is scheduled for this Wednesday at 10 a.m.
Magness Library officials have signed a construction contract with Mid-South Construction to add approximately 4,000 square feet of space to the existing downtown library.

Designed by Peter Metts of AEI Architects, Engineers and Planning in Cookeville, the new addition will provide more space for stacks, activities and the children?s library.

The new two-story addition will also house new ADA-compliant restrooms and a much-needed elevator that will service all floors. The exterior will be faced in brick to match the color of the cut stone on the original building. The building will be constructed in the lot behind the current building.

A groundbreaking ceremony has been scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 10 a.m. in the parking lot behind the library. For more information, call Mary Robbins at 473-2428.
