Berlin opens up brand new library

It was an exciting day for Berlin, as the "Coolest Small Town in America" opened the doors on their brand new library. 

The new location is four times bigger than its predecessor. 

It now has two floors and provides more services along with community meeting rooms. They also have more public computers and an interactive children's area to promote school readiness. We're told the prior facility was built in 1970 and the town was ready for something bigger and better.

But despite the changes, you may still see some familiar things from the old library.

The branch manager, Alice Paterra says, "You'll also notice that we've laid out the library very similar to the old library. So wherever adult fiction was in the old library, that's where it is in the new one. We want everyone to feel welcomed and not lost, so they can step into their old friendly library like they used to have."

The current library is right behind the old site. We're told it was important to stay in the same area so everyone can access it.

The grand opening is August 7th at 10 AM and they encourage everyone to come on out.
