Exciting Day for Fannie Brown Booth Library Renovation

December 10, 2024 - Today is an exciting day at the Fannie Brown Booth Library in Center. A crew from Library Interiors is installing new shelves and furniture as part of our renovation project. New lighting should be coming in next week.

If all goes well, we plan to open the first or second week of January. The patience and cooperation of the community is greatly appreciated during this process.

Renovation Update for the Fannie Brown Booth Library

November 21, 2024 - The staff of the Fannie Brown Booth Library have been busy boxing books with the help of the JCCs and volunteers. Between 350 and 400 boxes of books have been moved to storage. We moved shelves and furniture out of the library into the Redditt room with the help of the JCCs and volunteers. We had a young man come and take apart the counter. He also helped disassemble the double wide shelves and move them into the Redditt Room. The carpet installers have prepped the floor and installed the carpet. The next step will be the installation of new lighting.
