Letter from Penelope, the Library Goose

Penelope and her chicken posse

Dear gentle readers,

This is Penelope, the library goose, checking in. When the staff sent me around the world a few years ago, I signed off from my journeys with the hope that, in a few years, we would be moving into a new library that will better accommodate my quarters and wardrobe.

Well, that time has come. Today is the last day we are open at 104 Spring Street. The next time you’ll see me in the, well, feathers, we will be at our new location on 207 S. Springfield.

Summer Library Update

Summer is always busy at the Berryville Library, and that’s doubly true this year as we are preparing to move into our new building later this year. In addition to our regular summer program activities of tracking reading and attending cool programs, we have a couple of unique activities for June specifically connected to our upcoming move.

New Berryville Library Opening Delayed

As many of you may have now heard, we will not be able to open the new library on June 20, as we had originally planned. Lots is still going on over at the site but, for the most part, the construction remains on track for its completion timeline of late May or early June. However, there has been a significant delay in the manufacturing of the shelving, so it will not be installed in time for us to open in June.

We will be announcing the new grand opening date once we have a firm ship date for the shelves. We still hope to be able to open later this summer.

This was not the news we wanted to talk about today. But the shelves are definitely worth waiting for.
