A library spokeswoman tells PLN:
Prince William Public Libraries is committed to its strategic goals, of which âVersatile, Inviting Spacesâ outlines our efforts to enhance multi-functional, inviting spaces to create attractive, modern community destinations.
In recent years, we have made great strides in achieving this goal, including Central Libraryâs renovation in 2020 and its opening of Central Green in 2022, the opening of Manassas City Library in 2021, Dale City Libraryâs renovation in 2021, and Bull Run Libraryâs renovation in 2022. When proffer funds became available in the Occoquan District, it presented the opportunity to renovate Lake Ridge Library.
The library branch should reopen in January 2024.
