Kind of like a"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" isn't it? Well that is exactly what is taking place in my town. I was here 20 years ago when the city library was in a commercial building just up the street from where I live now, but it was small and the city had outgrown it so land next to the city complex was secured and the present library was built. It seemed so airy and spacious and would serve the community for years. Well it has, but like children outgrowing their clothing, Coralville has outgrown it's Public Library.
A new phase has begun and ground has been broken for a huge expansion of the current library building. See this link to red all about it.http://www.press-citizen.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060706/NEWS01/607060315/1079
I won't like the inconvenience during construction but it will truly be a wonderful facility when completed. So, I guess I can truly say,"A Library Grows In Coralville."
