Signal Hill Public Library To Host Grand Opening Event

SIGNAL HILL, CA — From the City of Signal Hill:

The City of Signal Hill and the City of Signal Hill Community Services Department are proud to announce the Grand Opening Event of the new Signal Hill Public Library, Saturday, August 10, 2019. The event is from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the new Library, located at 1800 E. Hill Street, Signal Hill. The event will begin with a dedication, ribbon cutting, and honor guard. Afterwards, the Library’s doors will open for refreshments, entertainment, special tours and presentations, children’s activities, games, and much more.

Since 1998, the City of Signal Hill has been working towards its dream of building a new public library. The 14,000 square-foot Library will serve as an important cornerstone for our community – facilitating social and community connections, providing technology resources for everyone, and offering spaces that allow visitors of all ages to enjoy reading and recreation together.

Exciting features of the new Library include a dedicated children’s reading area with a large mural and dinosaur, a history room with rotating historical exhibits, a learning lab, a community gathering room, a teen gathering area, an outdoor terrace with sweeping views, and a first-floor courtyard for reading and relaxation.

“This facility is the anchor of the Civic Center, the hub and heart of our community. We envision a gathering place where all can come together in a relaxed environment. This will be everybody’s library,” said Aly Mancini, City of Signal Hill Director of Community Services.
