The Forsyth Township Library Board of Trustees will break ground Monday, October 20, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. at the site for the new library, 186 W. Flint Street, Gwinn, Michigan.
“This is a ‘wow’ moment!” exclaimed Donna Adams, board president. “Look what our township can do. We were committed to expanded library services, and we’re going to get there. More things to learn, more activities, more room.”
Thanks to the generous donation of Dr. Robert Goodman several years ago, the Library Board was able to start a building fund. Public donations and a significant gift from Cliffs and Eagle Mine Marquette County Community Fund have made this goal a reality.
“The Forsyth Township library is the heart of the community,” Adams said. Located across from Peter Nordeen Park, the new library recycles the existing township Assessor’s Office with new construction. This more than doubles existing library space to over 4,000 square feet to allow more room for reading and personal computer use.
Off-street parking for patrons, more public computers, a community meeting room and an expanded children’s reading area, are some of the highlights of this new facility.
For more information, contact Donna Adams, Board President, 906.346.5235 or Pam Withrow, Library Director, 906.346.3433.
