La Vergne Library to reopen in May

The Daily News Journal
The Nir Shreibman Building began housing the La Vergne Public Library when it opened in 2002.

The La Vergne Public Library is set to reopen in May, three months after sustaining water damage due to a broken pipe.

Since that time, employees from all city departments have stopped by the facility to help with the restoration process.

“The carpet was covered with 2 inches of water, with rivers flowing through the library," said library Director Donna Bebout.
