One Lower Merion Library Is Reopening, Another Wins A $500K Grant

Two Lower Merion Libraries have reason to celebrate, as one is holding its grand reopening soon and the other was awarded a grant from the state.

The Gladwyne Free Library will hold its grand reopening at 1 p.m., Saturday, March 25 after getting nearly $2 million in renovations and Americans with Disabilities Act compliant upgrades.

The ribbon cutting will be held at 1:15 p.m.

Over in Bala Cynwyd, the Bellmont Hills Library might be looking to make renovations, too, as it was named one of 27 libraries across Pennsylvania to be awarded a Keystone Grant.

The library will be getting $500,000 from the grant program, according to Gov. Tom Wolf's recent announcement.

The money comes from the state's Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund.
