Our Lady of the Assumption broke ground on November 3, for their new library/media center. This will be the first new construction at the parish since the addition of the “Scout Hut” in the late ‘60s.

The library/media center will house the school library, necessary work and storage rooms, and a conference room. The entire area will comprise 2500 sq. ft., with the library itself taking up 1500 sq. ft. This area will be joined to the present school building giving access from the classrooms. The fifth grade classroom, which will be displaced by the new construction, will be moved to the present library on the second floor of the school.

Father William F. Seli, S.M. pastor of Our Lady of the Assumption, said that the new library/media center will serve the parish in a number of ways. Aside from the obvious use as library, it will also serve as an adult education room and a parish meeting room. Construction will be well under way to completion by the end of December 1980.
