LOOK: Last of the Beachwood Library Renovations

Renovations could conclude this week

We stopped by the Beachwood Library last week and took a couple photos of the latest renovations. The library has been open throughout the $885,000 renovations, which were paid for by a bond sale. More Photos: Beachwood Library Renovations Branch manager Bill Kelley said that the renovations could be complete this week — workers were working on the drive-thru when we stopped in. Click through to see photos of the library, and watch Beachwood Patch for more when the library is complete.
