Sparks Library Reopening
Renovations are complete at the Sparks Library, and earlier this week it again opened its doors to the public. 
 
The library, which has been in its current building since 1965, has been updated with new flooring, furniture, and layout improvements. Upgrades to the Young People’s Library include a refreshed children’s collection featuring the latest bestsellers. New seating, laptop tables, and study tables will maximize opportunities for research and gather in this community hub. 
 
All services have been resumed, so you can again browse the shelves, pick up holds, and attend events at this branch.
