SISTERS, OR -- The remodeled Sisters Library reopens next week, following nine months of construction and six years of planning. A grand opening celebration is scheduled for next Saturday the 28th, from noon to 2 p.m. with live music, face painting and other activities.

Updates at the branch include a new children’s discovery space, two new meeting and study rooms and a large community room with updated technology. There are also new public computers and updated wi-fi.

“We were happy to offer a small temporary space during construction, but we know the public is just as anxious as we are to get back into the remodeled library,” said Chantal Strobel, with the DPL. “The growing excitement around the re-opening is a testament to the importance of the library and its role in the community.”

The project was funded by the 2020 voter-approved bond measure. Bond funds also paid for work at the La Pine Library, which reopened last month, as well as the rebuilding of the Redmond branch, among other projects.
