The Grand Opening Celebration for the Sunriver Library has been rescheduled and will take place on Saturday, September 28, from noon to 2:00 p.m. The original Grand Opening Celebration, planned for September 14, was canceled due to area wildfires.

Following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon, the public will be welcomed into the remodeled space, where they’ll find live music, a balloon artist and fun with the GlinWood Fae. The public can also meet artist Judy Hoiness, whose colorful artwork is featured above the library’s new fireplace. Hoiness will present an artist talk at 1:45 p.m. in front of her painting. Free limited-edition book bags and other library swag will also be given away to visitors.

Updates to the Sunriver Library include an all-new children’s discovery space designed to engage young learners and spark the imagination. A new study room provides a place for the public to meet, something that was repeatedly requested during the planning phase. The all-new community room, now located on southwest corner of the building, features state-of-the art technology as well as a retractable glass wall to allow for flexibility of use, including after-hours access. All-new public computers and updated Wi-Fi give customers essential access to high-speed internet.
