Excerpt: More than six years after Hurricane Wilma ripped through South Florida, rendering the Aventura Northeast Branch Library unusable, locals will get a new library.
Work on the facility, at 2930 Aventura Blvd., is expected to begin in early April and should be completed by the fall of 2013, said Asael Marrero, manager of the Architecture and Engineering Section, part of the county’s Internal Services Department.
After the 2005 hurricane, the library was not destroyed but it was so heavily damaged the Miami-Dade Public Library System decided to demolish the building and start anew, said Victoria Galan, county library spokeswoman. Residents and city officials have long awaited a new facility.
Like other residents, Serber has used the temporary library the county set up on the second floor of the Government Center, 19200 West Country Club Dr. That has been a poor substitute for Serber, as well as for 86-year-old Audrey Nesse.
