Formal ground breaking ceremonies for the expansion of Middleburg's library are scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Thursday, February 21st.

The Finance and Government Services Operations Committee of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the start of construction on the Middleburg Library Expansion Project at a recent meeting.

And the full Board of Supervisors are set to give their final approval at their February 20th meeting.

The Library Trustees unanimously approved the start of construction at their mid-January meeting.

The formal groundbreaking will be a very short and modest ceremony with the Library Owl in attendance.

Citizens will be welcome at the groundbreaking ceremony, but the big event will be the grand opening in about six or seven months time. The goal is to officially open the expansion in either late September or early October.
