Change is really good for the new library, which has been around for 29 years. “We will have more space to put the books and more computers for the people to enjoy, and have a workspace for people to come inside which is very nice to have,” said staff member of Walkersville Library Kim Quick. “Also, [I am] very excited for the new library because it will give new opportunities for others that need a job and for more new books to read,” suggested patron at Walkersville Library Karen Willicot.
“We people that like to read really needed this because Frederick is a small county and for people to just come together in one space is thrilling for people to bring their children to see their eyes light up when they get a book,” said patron at Walkersville library Matthew Smith.
It will be very cool to read some brand new books in 2018.
