(May 25, 2017) The Worcester County Commissioners invite the public and members of the press to join them and the Library Board of Trustees to the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Berlin Branch Library. County and state officials will break ground at the site, on Harrison Avenue in Berlin, on Tuesday, June 6 at 1:30 p.m.
The 12,000-square-foot library will be a two-story structure, designed to complement the historic architecture of the Town of Berlin. It will have expanded children and teen reading areas, community meeting space, an art gallery, and a local history room. Additional space will be provided for public computers and laptops. A children’s porch and second-floor deck will allow visitors to take advantage of the natural setting. The site will allow for the expansion of community gardens.
The Worcester County Commissioners, Worcester County Library Foundation and the County Library Capital Grant Program, Maryland State Department of Education, and Division of Library Development and Services provided project funding. Construction will start in June 2017 and should be complete by July 2018.
