Library ribbon-cutting time

The Madison County Library has announced it will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. March 31 to mark the expansion of the library from 10,000 square feet to 17,500 square feet.

Construction began in April 2011 and is coming to an end. In addition to new furniture and equipment, the capacity for books and materials will grow from 32,226 to 100,000.

The expansion was funded by a $1.5 million state grant and $600,000 in local SPLOST money, along with a USDA grant for technical upgrades. Others making donations were from the Friends of the Library, library’s Board of Trustees and the estate of Jere Ayers.
