Dennis Cotter, President of the Friends of the Middleburg Public Library reported to Council that the new library, double the size of the old, and built with funds raised privately by the Friends and their supporters, would hold it's "Grand Opening Ceremony" in September, on the Saturday after Labor Day.

The library will be closed for roughly three weeks before the Grand Opening while staff and friends essentially move the old library into the new addition, completely refurbish the old building, and then re-arrange.

Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the library staff, its friends, supporters and patron, those three weeks will mark the only time the library has closed during the entire construction process.
