Background

The original Virgil I. Grissom Library, built in 1976 and comprising of an existing 16,335 square feet building has been determined to be inadequate for the needs of the City's teeming population and library patrons. Consequently, City leadership has determined that a new library Grissom Public Library be developed at the old Sherwood Shopping Center, serving as the anchor for the redevelopment of the area.
