Phase Two of the Scotlandville Branch Library renovation project is underway and is expected to take approximately 10 months. The $8.8 million project, funded through the library’s 10-year property tax, will expand the library to over 24,000 square feet. New features include updated children’s, teen, and adult areas; space for a community fridge; bike racks and a bike repair station; a Black Heritage Room; meeting and programming spaces; a garden story walk; and enhanced technology. The renovation aims to enrich library services and better serve the community. ■ ebrpl.co/scotlandville
