Grand Opening -- the New Bedford Public Library

A wonderful turnout and beautiful weather for the grand opening of the new Bedford Public Library on February 12, 2011. The first 2000 guests received a bright green and blue tote bag. A flag ceremony and ribbon cutting marked the opening, plus a presentation of a copy of a proclamation honoring the library in today's Congressional Record by a representative of Congressman Kenny Marchant. A variety of special events were included.

Comments overheard:

"When I come here it just feels like home."

Little boy to mom: "I want to come here again, Mom!"

Mom's reply: "We'll come again when we have more time."

Sister: "This is the best library!"
