PUNTA GORDA LIBRARY REOPENING CELEBRATION
CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fl. (October 19, 2009) - The Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners invites the public to attend the official reopening celebration of the Punta Gorda Library on Thursday, October 22, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. The Punta Gorda Library has undergone extensive renovations; paid for, in part, by a significant contribution from the Friends of the Punta Gorda Library. The renovations included all new shelving that increased the collection capacity, a new, more efficient circulation area and new carpeting. The Punta Gorda Library renovations are a culmination of earlier improvements which began in January, 2008. Those improvements included enhancing the library entry with new front entry steps, ramp, handrails and walkways for improved handicapped access; new plantings installed and maintained by the Punta Gorda Garden Club; a new children’s area; and a new computer room.
Join us in celebrating the reopening of the Punta Gorda Library and enjoy light refreshments courtesy of the Friends of the Punta Gorda Library immediately following the ceremony.
