Addison Township Library Capital Campaign

From the community. For the community.

Libraries Need Solid Foundations

Crews were on site this past week and have poured the footings for the new Library.

The Library will have a full basement, 5,000 sq ft, used primarly for storage.  This new space will allow us to cancel our current storage unit.
