Congratulations Davenport Public Library--Fairmount Branch set to Open!

Emily Navarre and I, (Emily Weaver) had an "exclusive" tour of the brand new Davenport Public Library--Fairmount Street branch on Friday, January 6. LaWanda Roudebush, director, was our tour guide and the Emilies had plenty of questions to ask and many compliments to pay. As library consultants, it is our job to be proud of library developments. As Davenport residents, however, we can't wait to start checking out books!

A grand opening celebration will be held this Saturday, January 14th, with an official kick-off at 10 am. (the doors open at 9:00 am) Guest speakers, local dignitaries, clowns, the local Book Cart Drill Team, and a performance by the local opera company--it will be an entire day of celebrating.

Until then, enjoy some photos of the new library!
