Ridge Manor Library in Hernando County Grand Opening Ceremony

It's been a little over a year ago,when the Ridge Manor Library in Hernando County was badly damaged by fire set by a young misguided person. Since then, the community center and a local church helped in providing some library service to the community while the library building was undergoing reconstruction.

Finally, today the grand opening took place in the remodeled Ridge Manor Library also known as the East Branch of the Hernando County Library System. Local dignitaries, staff, and many people from the community gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony before setting foot into their library again.

Volunteers were on hand conducting tours behind the scenes, and demonstrating the many services the library offers. And of course, there was a storyteller for the kids!

There was quite a crowd that came to see throughout the morning and everyone admired the newly redone facility. What started out as terrible misfortune for the people of the Ridge Manor community finally had a good ending after all.

The East Branch or Ridge Manor Library is located at 6457 Windermere Road, Ridge Manor, FL 34602. Contact the library system at 352-754-4043 for more information.

Getting new libraries is so exciting, for me, at least. It means that a tradition is being carried on, and kids and young adults will still find a library meaningful, Silvia!
