          Walnut – You may not have noticed, but the Library in the City of Walnut is back open for business!

Closed to the public this past June, the five month, $1.1 million renovation has been completed and the Walnut Library reopened its door on Mon., Nov. 17.

With technological additions funded by the former First District County Supervisor, Gloria Molina, the renovation features a redesigned interior with new carpet, fresh paint and new furniture.  A large group study room has been added, as well as a new Family Place; and the latest in modern technologies.

The Walnut Library now houses 23 all new public-access computers; a flat screen monitor in the Teen Section for gaming and programs; the installation of three automated check-in systems for customer self-service; and an iPad catalog search. There is even a brand new vending machine that will allow patrons to check out laptop computers for use while in the Library.

The Walnut Library is a valuable resource for everyone; not just as a study source for students, but for readers of all ages, including access to digital media, and events open to the public.  And look for special family story-time fun coming in January.
