Northwood library addition taking shape

NORTHWOOD | Construction crews are making progress on an addition to the Northwood Public Library.

The approximately 2,200-square-foot addition will be used for a public meeting room. Benefactors Gregg Olson and his wife, Sandy Olson, are paying for construction.

The exterior is up and enclosed. Crews are working on the sidewalk leading to the building and the addition's brick exterior.

When completed, the addition will have a separate entrance and also be accessible through the library, 906 First Ave. S.

Officials are hopeful the project will be completed by the end of the year, said Library Director Connie Kenison. Construction began in early June.

The space also will contain a kitchenette and restroom. It will be handicapped-accessible.

Reservations will be made through Northwoods city offices.
