The Leland Library had their Grand Re-Opening ceremony on Friday, June 3rd, 2011 in their new reading room. After being closed for several months for the renovation, the community is excited and ready for one of our favorite and busiest places to be open and operating again.
Remarks were made by William M Sue, Chairman of the Brunswick County Commissioners, who was instrumental in obtaining the funding necessary for this remodel. Mr. Sue has been a supporter of our library for many years and continues to take pride in this accomplishment.Brief comments were also made by Reecie Tate, Brunswick County Library Director, Lisa Milligan, Leland Library Manager, Clif Bridgers, President of the Friends of the Library and Debra Gill-Mason of the Brunswick County Literacy Council. Ron Benton and Lisa Milligan then cut the ribbon for the ‘official’ re-opening, after which patrons were given tours of the new facility.
If you haven’t already done so, take the time to visit our new library. It is beautiful and a tremendous asset to our community. The Friends of the Library Group work to continue support of the library’s programs and activities. If you are interested in helping, please stop by the library and ask where to sign up!
