Good news for Eastside Library patrons: the Library announced on Facebook this week their plans to open up a location on East Highway 20.

The Deschutes Public Library is pleased to announce the site of an East Bend Library that will open in January 2011. The future site is 8,000 square feet and located at Borden’s Corner — 2175 NE Highway 20.

“After a comprehensive study of our service area, it became very clear that we were not adequately serving approximately 40,000 residents in east Bend,” said Assistant Director Kevin Barclay. “After several community focus groups, we believe we have a strong understanding of what services and resources will best serve the eastside residents. We are eager to begin!”

The new library will provide full services that will include: a community meeting room, popular materials collection, Internet stations, story times, adult programming, and holds pick-up.

The planned location is in the same development as Longboard Louie’s. Looking forward to it!
