Why do we need a bigger library?
Expanding our library will enable us to enhance our physical collections, broaden the programs we provide, and increase the number of attendees we can accommodate at special events and popular workshops. A larger library facility will feature private study areas, meeting spaces, quiet reading zones, wider aisles, and more for activities and services. We are excited about the future of the East Lake Community Library and look forward to "Spreading our Wings" as we continue to serve the residents of our community.
