Pace Library Meeting Room ribbon cutting Wednesday, April 9

Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners and the Santa Rosa County Library System will hold a ribbon cutting at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 9 to open the new meeting room at the Pace Library, 4750 Pace Patriot Blvd., in Pace.

Since its opening on April 12, 2007, the Pace Library has been a cornerstone of learning and engagement for the Pea Ridge/Pace community. With over 23,000 registered patrons and approximately 70,000 visits each year, the library continues to strive to meet the needs of its users. Until now, it was the only library in the Santa Rosa County system without a meeting space. The new meeting room will provide space for public programs, community gatherings and much more.

"This meeting space will provide an improved library experience for patrons and staff," said Lori O'Gara, Santa Rosa County Library Director. "It will allow the library staff to offer program opportunities that were not possible before. Also, local non profit groups, book clubs, and other groups in the community will have a safe place to meet. The library staff and I are thankful to the citizens of Santa Rosa County and the Friends of the Pace Library for their support of this addition to the Library. "

Santa Rosa County Library meeting rooms are used for library programs and are also available to Santa Rosa County based non-profit groups, government agencies, and individuals who use the meeting rooms for non-profit educational, cultural, intellectual, civic, government, or charitable purposes.
