Rendering of new westside library from the west with people outside

Westside Library Groundbreaking

Celebrate the new Westside Library at a special Groundbreaking Ceremony.

Join us for a brief ceremony followed by pictures. The program will be held on the site of the new Westside Library - behind Aldi on Edgewood Road SW, on the block between 18th Avenue SW and 20th Avenue SW. 

The program will be brief, and a limited number of chairs will be available. Parking will be on-site, and a map will be available the week of the event here and social media. People are encouraged to check before arriving and follow signs at the site.
