Library Update

Illustration by Paul Coogan using MidJourney

Ideas for a location to build a new Kensington-Normal Heights Library were discussed with SD Library Director, Misty Jones at the most recent meeting of Friends of the Kensington-Normal Heights Library. Ms. Jones expressed interest in the idea of leveraging the location at 35th and Adams Avenue and will discuss the option with the City Real Estate Office.

A new modernized library would allow for the expansion of services to address the diverse needs of our community. Here are some things you can do to make Normal Heights noticed.

Check out books and other materials. Large circulation speaks volumes.

Attend story-time and other programs.

Visit the library. Just entering the building increases the door count.

Engage with librarian. You would be surprised what they know!

Check out a pass to a State Park - It's free.

Purchase books from the friends of the library. It's a good deal.

Sign the petition. Every submission reminds the city we want this.

Thank you for making Normal Heights a better place to live, play, and work! If you would like to support our efforts, you can make a tax deductible donation via PayPal.
