Moving Day for Milton Public Library

“Sue Williams, the library director, said when people asked to hold meetings at the old library, staff had to turn them away. The new facility has four meeting rooms and enough space for more than three dozen people. ‘More quiet spaces and it will fit their needs better,’ Williams said. The library bought the former mansion in 2008 with state and federal funding.”
