As of June 30, the Friends of the Middleburg Library report that they have raised nearly 71% of the $775,000 necessary to complete the long-awaited expansion of the Middleburg Public Library.

Originally designed to be the size of the Library in Lovettsville, the Middleburg facility was halved due to budget constraints. The new building will provide much needed new space for expanded on-site collections of materials, computer facilities, and room for the library's growing and very popular public programs for patrons of all ages.
