New Community Center/Library
THE DREAM IS COMING TRUE…..
Ground Breaking Construction Begins
The new Nezperce Community Center/Library is finally becoming a reality. With the help of many volunteers, community groups, former and present members of the community, grants, etc., the building will begin to take shape.
The committee for the building project, made up of city officials and volunteers from the Friends of the Library, have determined there is sufficient monies to build the shell with the help of general contractor Mark Bovey of Craigmont and lots of volunteers.
When completed, the building will give the community a new and very comfortable meeting room and the library will be expanded from its present size of 900 sq. ft. to approximately triple the size. This will allow room for the many programs/activities put on by the Library/Friends group without interruption of normal library functions. With the current library, programs need to be scheduled during hours the library is not open in order to accommodate the many participants. The new Community Center area will be available for use by any organization looking for a convenient and comfortable meeting room.
One of the ongoing fund-raising efforts is the Family History Profile. For $1,000, pictures and a brief family history will be mounted in an 8x10 frame to be placed in a special community history area of the new library.
