Olney Library Opens Today - Sat., March 15, 2014 in Olney MD 20832
Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett today announced that the newly renovated Olney Library at 3500 Olney-Laytonsville Rd. will reopen with a public ceremony/ ribbon cutting on the morning of Saturday, March 15.
The Olney community deserves a first-class library and this is what they will get when the doors open for business on the 15th, said Leggett. While retaining some features of the former building, this building has not only a new shape but will offer some exciting new features and services for the customers. I look forward to celebrating this special occasion with the Olney residents.
New Meeting Room @ the Library
Among the significant changes at the newly renovated Olney Library will be a more inviting meeting room space that will accommodate approximately ninety people. The meeting room will also have the capacity to be divided into two smaller spaces so that two programs or meetings could be held concurrently.
The meeting room in the newly renovated Olney Library will be used for library programs and events, whether for children, teens, adults, seniors or families. For your convenience, the meeting room will be located near the entrance to the library and will have a large window looking out into the landscaped parking area. The room will be equipped with WiFi capability.
The meeting room will be available as a rental for private and public organizations, businesses and individuals through the County’s Community Use of Facilities. Once the meeting room is made available for booking, an announcement will be posted on the Olney Library Blog. When the meeting room is not being used for a library program or event rental, the space will be available for laptop use and as an additional reading and study area for library customers.
Olney Library staff is currently working onsite handling a variety of move-in tasks, such as receiving books, getting trained on the latest technologies that will be offered in the library, planning best use of
space of specific areas of the facility, etc.
More information about the project, including photos, is available on the DGS construction page and the MCPL Olney Library page.
