Homer Public Library in 2046

At the beginning of this century, the citizens of Homer set out to construct a new library to serve their growing community. They designed the building around what they thought Homer would need over the following 20 years: lots of computers, lots of space, and plenty of capacity for meetings and events. Their projections were remarkably accurate.

The new building opened on Sept. 16, 2006, and that 20-year plan expires...now.
