The New Buffalo Township Public Library, which is scheduled to be completed next month, will replace the old library in New Buffalo, Michigan that was demolished on the same site last year.

In an effort to encourage readers of all ages to visit their local branch, the new library will feature designated areas for children’s books and young adult literature and a large public meeting and performance space for activities. The facility will also include an exterior patio, a car-accessible book drop and increased natural lighting throughout the space.
