North Village Library Groundbreaking

Posted Apr 23, 2007 10:35am by Chris Jones in Events | Comments Off

The groundbreaking ceremony for the new library at Steck was held this past Saturday. We had a great turnout who enjoyed listening to the live band, eating breakfast tacos from Curra’s Grill, drinking coffee and smoothies from Maui Zowi and enjoying the face painting and balloon art of a colorful clown.

We had three council members attend as well as the staff of the current North Village Library, John Gillum and other library staff, the architects who designed the library and the construction team.

The event began with live music to set the mood and help ward off the impeding weather. There were many speeches that discussed the history of the branch library, how the architects designed the library as well as our own Malcolm St. Romain who said a few words about the project.

At the end, the speakers all took shovel in hand and heartily threw some ceremonial mulch.

Photos from the event can be found here.

I spoke with John Gillum after the ceremony and he let me know we should expect earth movers within the next two weeks as the construction team is ready to get started.

Thanks to everyone who attended.
