Community Cheers as New Library Opens
Oh yes there are books — 110,000 — throughout the 30,880 square-foot facility. But Saturday was not a day to browse but to marvel at what can happen when people work together: More than 25 percent of Lafayette residents gave money to the project, which was mostly paid through state grants and the city’s redevelopment agency. More than $1 million in used book sale proceeds was donated by the Friends of the Lafayette Library.
