After months of remodeling, water-soaked room turns into Mulberry Public Library

MULBERRY --

The city of Mulberry can finally turn the page on a water-soaked room inside its city's civic center.

After months of cleaning out mold and water in the civic center, the city has remodeled the lower level of the building and turned it into the new home for the Mulberry Public Library.

It's a transformation for the books.

"Over the years, they had water seeping in, and we ended up with the mold issue," said Sherry Schiler, the library's director.

Now, it's a place Schiler said she can be proud of.

"We got a grant (and) had it totally remodeled," she said. "Everything in the older building was taken out. All of asbestos tiles everything was taken down to the bare walls and then they had mold-removing machines in here."

The new 4,300-square-foot library is the perfect place for people like Kim Duke and her daughter, Kenzie, who is maximizing the new space.

"I love to read and, at school, we have prizes for getting a certain amount of points," Kenzie Duke said. "So, I come to check out books."

Vicki Pritt is doing the same. She said the old library was too small. The new one, however, is the perfect fit for the city.
