Library In Progress...

The new Library at Burlington is coming along nicely with progress made every day toward an October move. The 9 million dollar building, which has a lovely view of the Mississippi River and the Highway 34 bridge to Illinois has not only the latest in technology and customer service, but also will continue to be a place for the history and genealogy buffs with a special room dedicated to just their research.

Governor Vilsack was part of a VIP, work-in-progress tour of the new facility, currently under construction. Kay Weiss reported that "he told us that he can't wait to go home to tell Christie that he'd been to a library that she has not". Thank you to the Vilsacks who have been strong library supporters during Governor Vilsack's time in office.

Kay was also nice enough to give us a little "so-far" tour last month...

Can't you just envision it now?!
