What a gorgeous day for a ground breaking!

Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and celebrate this monumental event with us.

Construction started on Monday Oct. 30th, and we can’t wait to watch as our new library comes to fruition.

Thank you to each and every one of you who have contributed time, money, and resources to bring this much needed community service back.

The O’Brien Memorial Library continues our efforts to rebuild.

Our new library will be located on the corner of Blue River Drive and Dexter Street.

“PIVOT Architecture of Eugene was selected to design the new library, with the vision of providing a warm and welcoming space, as well as much-needed services, in the heart of Blue River.”
