Bullard Community Library celebrates completion of $750,000 renovation, expansion

BULLARD — After a complete renovation and a 1,600-square-foot expansion, the Bullard Community Library has a fresh look, more room for visitors and renewed space for the community to gather. The library marked the completion of the $750,000 project Tuesday morning with a ribbon cutting hosted by the Bullard Chamber of Commerce. Although the building has been open to the public since Sept. 22, the ceremony offered an opportunity to celebrate the transformation. “Everything is new in this building,” said library director Carol Olson. “Except for the books.” The renovation touched nearly every part of the building, including its wiring, lighting, shelving, furniture and paint. The expansion added 1,600 square feet to the back of the library, including a 900-square-foot community room named in honor of longtime board member Martha Dinwiddie, who has been involved with the library for 27 years. “It was very special,” she said of being the namesake of the community room.
