The library just held the grand opening for Claire’s Courtyard, our new outdoor amphitheater, patio and sunroom space. Claire’s Courtyard construction was funded by a gift to The Library Foundation from Dr. Glenn Swogger and is named after his beloved late wife Claire.

Here’s a short video from our event. Claire’s Courtyard is open now for you to take you Millennium Cafe lunch, read a book, play cards or just sit and enjoy the water feature. Let us know what you think of the new space!
