We have layouts of the proposed new building, exterior elevations as well as interior. The next step is to get them to the CAD engineer and have the 3D color images done.....and that will happen before the end of the year.
Want to see what is in store for Liberty Hill? It is extremely exciting - a library that is almost 10 times the size we currently are. A gathering place with a coffee shop (or maybe a franchised food vendor???). A safe hang out for teens with video gaming and guitar hero competitions. A young child's place for beginner classes. A technology center to learn in.
If you can imagine it, we will be it.
Libraries have changed over the years. They are no longer the quiet places we all remember. Now we are hearing tag lines of "NO SHUSHING ALLOWED". Which means - no, libraries are no longer quiet. Cell phones are used with respect to others, open mic nights and coffee bars are standard. Libraries have become the gathering place of communities, the place to see and be seen and just "hang out."
We are striving to be the HEART OF THE HILL as our tag line says. Come check us out today, we're making changes and looking forward to your input on what you want YOUR library to be.

Gaming at your library
Games in the library? Why????
In the 21st century, libraries are about much more than books. In fact, libraries work very hard to provide patrons of all ages wtih a rich and current menu of CDs and DVDs as well as electronic and online resources. Video and board game resources and programs at the library actually complement these existing services. Featuring this new gaming media helps the library expand its reach while meeting community expectations.
Saturday, November 15 is the first National Gaming Day @ your library. Join us between 10 am and 3 pm as we play PICTUREKA! a new game from Hasbro, along with classic favorites like chess, checkers, and chinese checkers.
