A New Green Hills Library
The library petitioned their residents five times over a number of years through referendum for a small tax increase to provide more funding for the library. It took five tries to make it happen, but a referendum finally passed in 2004. It was through a grassroot effort that this referendum could be successful.
The project included a 12,000 square-foot expansion, as well as renovations to the existing space. Other additions included: a children’s play area, fireplace reading room, two meeting rooms on the middle level, a “Friends of the Library” bookshop, expanded parking and a new entrance and elevator for easier Library access. A Grand Opening and Open House was held on April 5, 2008.
