Come on in
 The wait is almost over for the big reveal of the new and improved Burnhaven Library. The library will reopen at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 9 after seven months of renovations. When it opens, folks will notice this isn’t the same old Burnhaven.
The most significant changes include the addition of a license center and a new computer lab with Internet accessible computers in addition to the 19 computers in the library. Other improvements include a space especially for teens, and a three-dimensional tree in the children’s area. The reference and children’s service desks are combined to more easily accommodate visitor needs.
Changes that aren’t as noticeable include additional insulation in the outer walls for increased energy savings, new carpeting, a larger entryway and a new materials handling system with Radio Frequency Identification that will speed up the processing of materials.
The license center will open at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, May 24. Including a license center in the Burnhaven Library allows the County to save taxpayer dollars by moving it from its current location on County Road 13 to a County-owned building.
A reopening celebration is scheduled for June 9.
