“When we return to Petersburg to start our own businesses and families we want a modern and welcoming library to match the vibrant spirit of the town we grew up in”. – Elsa Sebastian, high school senior
Investing in a new library for Petersburg is an investment in the future of our community. Civic causes come and go with the times, but opportunities for a community to truly embrace a project are rare. Such an opportunity exists with the creation of a new library for Petersburg.
This is an exciting time for libraries everywhere. While only a few years ago futurists were decrying the death of libraries due to the proliferation of the internet, the opposite has proven to be true. Libraries have evolved to become places where people gather and exchange ideas. Nowhere is this more important than in small, isolated communities like Petersburg. The community is ready for a library that will truly reflect our educational and civic values for many years to come.
