Open for Business!

The popUP Library is open! Read the article below for coverage of the special ribbon cutting ceremony. The library director, Mr. Frank, had to use giant scissors to cut the ribbon! Even the Mayor of Reading came to visit (that's him on the left)!

From the newspaper:

With the Reading Public Library's main branch closed for renovations, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Tuesday to open its temporary replacement site.

The "popUP Library" in Suite 101 at 645 Penn St. features the same inventory and services as the main branch, just fewer of them in its 4,300 square feet of space, said Renee L. Dietrich, president of the library's board of directors.

That includes a children's section, popular books and DVDs and about a dozen computers that will go online in the next few days. The site will also host most of the same children's and adult programs as the main branch.
