The Merriam Park Public Library is a popular neighborhood destination. In fact, with an average of 650 – 700 visitors daily, the carpet was worn and in need of replacement. The carpeting had not been replaced since the current library was opened in 1993. The library was closed for two weeks and recently reopened with new carpeting and new shelving for the non-print media area. Finding your favorite DVD, CD or book on tape just became easier because of the new shelves in this popular area. In addition to books, music, movies and events, there is a teen area and quiet study rooms available.
