Link to April 9 Pueblo Chieftain article, "New library opens to public".Excerpt: An enthusiastic crowd poured through the doors of the new Pueblo West Library Wednesday as the expanded building officially opened to the public.
The green ribbon was cut by Latino and Pueblo West Chamber of Commerce officials after a lengthy ritual in which members of the Masons’ Grand Lodge of Colorado installed a cornerstone, just as they did several years ago for the main branch in town.
Pueblo West residents have been watching for months as workers from H.W. Houston Construction nearly quintupled the size of the suburban library branch. The existing brick building grew steadily eastward with expanses of glass and steel to offer 28,000 square feet of floor space.
Jon Walker, executive director of the Pueblo City-County Library District, pointed out to the crowd that gathered for the grand opening that the children’s library alone, at 4,000 square feet, is about the size of the original branch
