The project follows a complete interior renovation. The project is funded by a $500,000 donation from a local Spring Lake resident, with additional support from the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation.
Library Director Maggie McKeithan said the recent renovations have already increased library usage, and she expects the new space to meet growing demand.
"Last year we added several more rooms for use and we've just seen the usage and need skyrocket which is why we're really excited to have this new space. We expect it to be highly anticipated, usage and it will go nicely with the offerings we already have here in the library," McKeithan said.
Construction began a couple of weeks ago, with completion still pending. The library is planning to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new space on Jun. 15.
