Sam Racadio Library & Environmental Learning Center
Today marked the topping off ceremony on the construction in Highland for the Sam Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center. The weather was ideal, the speeches short, and the event well attended. Everyone attending had the opportunity to sign the final steel beam - a nice touch especially for the nearby elementary students in attendance. The Center is being built with a combination of federal, state, and local funds. Federal funding is coming from the EPA. The building meets the federal standards as a silver level green building. To help ease classroom overcrowding the nearby elementary school will move its library into the Center to create new classroom space while expanding their library collection.

So howmuch did you have to give to be able to sign the beam?...
Also, when will this open? I know they got their grant the same time we received ours for the VG Library. From what I hear, this place will be pretty different!
Believe it or not the signing was free! It was a true community event.
It is scheduled to open in October. Let me know if you want to attend the dedication.
