Cary-Grove Area Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Oct. 1.
The Fox River Grove Library has reopened after completing extensive renovations. Library trustees and staff invite the public to a Grand Reopening Celebration at the Library on Saturday, October 20, 2018. Family-friendly festivities will run throughout operating hours, 9:30 a.m. through 3:30 p.m., including a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m.
Library leadership is proud the upgrades to the facility required no additional funds from patrons. Improvements include a modernized elevator, new paint and carpet throughout the Library, an ADA-accessible family restroom on the upper floor, safety improvements in Youth Services, a cozy reading lounge by the fireplace, a new exterior bookdrop, and more.
Library staff took the opportunity to develop many new and improved services during the closure, including a new printer/copier and touchscreen pay station for easier and faster printing from public computers, acceptance of credit card payments, Book Club Book Bags for book groups to check out, board games to play in the Library, new STEM kits and tablets funded by a PTO grant, a new projector and screen to show hit movies, and umbrellas and snow scrapers to check out when the weather gives a surprise.
