Grand Reopening Pictures

We enjoyed a wonderful turnout for the grand reopening despite the bad weather. Among those present were library staff members (past and present); trustees from the Library Board; Mayor Anzaldi, City Manager Villano, city council members and department heads; Friends of the Clifton Library; members of the Women's Club of Allwood; children and teachers from School #9; library volunteers; the architects, contractors and furniture space planners who worked on the project; PalsPlus staff and directors from member libraries; our State Librarian and others representing library organizations around the state; and of course, the valued members of the community who make use of and support the Clifton Public Library.

Finally complete!

After several months of closure and even more time planning behind the scenes, the Allwood Branch renovation is finally complete! Here are some pictures of the finished product.
