Construction, Fundraising Gala and Finally a Grand Opening
Construction began in summer of 1998 and continued through early 1999. With the February 1999 move-in, a special fundraiser was held: a Gala called “A Library Love Affair”. The event raised over $60,000.
The dedication of the library was held April 1999, coinciding with National Library Week. First Lady of Texas, Laura Bush, was guest speaker.
