The Marksbury Family Foundation has committed the lead gift for the capital campaign to rebuild the former Village Branch. The new two-story facility boasts nearly triple the amount of space available for library services.  The new building will include community and study rooms, a dedicated classroom, makerspace, outdoor reading area, expanded adult and children’s areas, and a drive-thru window where customers can pick up and return borrowed materials.  The Library estimates that it will serve approximately 1 million visitors per year at this location.
