Open House Set At Renovated Southampton Library

SOUTHAMPTON, PA — The Southampton Free Library will be showing off its new renovated space at an upcoming open house.

The event is set for Thursday, May 16, at the library, at 947 Street Rd. in Southampton. Visitors will be able to check out the renovations, enjoy refreshments and learn more about what the library has to offer.

The open house is set for 6-8 p.m.

In a news release, the library thanked the community for its patience during renovations and contributions to the Access the World campaign, which partially funded the makeover. They were further supplemented by a Keystone Grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which was backed by state Rep. Frank Farry.

Visitors will be able to tour the completely renovated downstairs community room, with its brand new demonstration kitchen, as well as try out the new furniture throughout the library. Members of the library board will be present to meet with visitors.

"A lot of hard work went into this renovation and we are extremely proud of our new space," said library Director Kim Ingram. "We are grateful to everyone who donated to our campaign to make this renovation possible. We hope everyone will stop by and celebrate the Southampton Free Library."
