Foley’s 40,000-square-foot library and community center is officially ready to welcome readers and residents! The $20-million community resource opened its doors on Tuesday, Aug. 4, marking the completion of over three years of planning and construction.

According to Foley Mayor Ralph Hellmich, the new facility is twice the size of the former. When the previous library opened in 1984, the city was home to roughly 4,500 residents.

Now, the Foley’s population has climbed to about 30,000 residents.
