West Michigan Library Making a Temporary Stop-Off at the Grocery Store

Once there were cabbages and cucumbers there, but for the next few months, there will be books and computer stations. The Loutit District Library is temporarily moving into the former home of Sav-A-Lot, a now defunct grocery store.

After the lease is signed, work will begin in the temporary space to prepare it for library services. LDL Director Sandie Knes said they will need to clean, paint, add computer lines and put in some walls to mimic the spaces in the existing library.

“We’ll be open the same hours, and we’ll be offering the same services, same materials and same programs,” said Knes. “It’s going to be the same library; just in a different location during construction.” Grand Haven Tribune has the story.
