LOWER MERION, January 25, 2010 – State Senator Daylin Leach (D-Delaware/ Montgomery) this weekend attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ludington Library Renovation Project. The renovation, which will add 10,400 square feet to the library, will also finish essential maintenance projects, improve ADA accessibility and create much needed safety and technology upgrades.
“I am pleased that the library has decided to begin the renovation process and I am excited to see the ultimate results. The library system is an essential part of any community, and by expanding and upgrading Ludington, our residents will have the opportunity to host a premier library right in their backyards,” Leach said.
Leach added that residents should note that the library will be closed for at least 14 months during the renovation project, but the Lower Merion Library System has offered assistance by opening a small temporary branch on the current Ludington Library parking lot. The Bala Cynwyd Library will also extend their hours to operate seven additional hours per week, and Ardmore Library plans to help the community by offering more public computers and story hours. To continue to serve its patrons, the Ludington Library will also make its main collection available by online request.
More information about the project and status updates will be available on Lower Merion Township’s Web site.
