The dream of a new library has lived in the hearts of Battle Ground community members, library staff and trustees for many years...and now, thanks to the dedication and hard work of an entire community, the dream is about to be fulfilled. The current library's doors have closed so that books and materials can be moved over in time for a "soft opening" at the new site on May 15. Join us for a big grand opening event on Saturday, May 30, at 2:00 p.m. See the project page for more details.
