I had taken half day off and around 3:15 PM VTS and I drove to the newly constructed Eastside Branch Library. The Grand opening was planned for 4:00 PM but until 4:10 PM it didn’t begin .Then it began with the welcome message by Mr Vincent Long, Leon County Administrator.
The Chairman of Leon County Commission Mr Dailey delivered the opening remarks followed by Kristen Dozier, County Commissioner (Seat 5.
Then Cay Hohmeister, Leon County Library Director spoke about the East side Branch Library, introduced the staff of the library, explained the amenities and told about all the programs and projects. Then the Leon County Construction Manager and couple of contractors spoke about the unique LEED design of the building and mentioned that the building was constructed to mimic the local area (similar to Mission San Luis).
Then around 4:40 PM we entered the Eastside Branch Library. It was really nicely constructed with lots of space and quite areas.
There were some light refreshments and drinks. We met lots of friends in the library. We stayed until 5:45 PM and got home.
