NORTH LIBERTY– As the expansion on the North Liberty Community Library continues, crews advise patrons to use the north entrance starting Monday, Oct. 22. The front door, also known as the south entrance, will be closed for at least five weeks in order to continue construction on the building. Though the community center will still be open during regular business hours, guests should enter through the back door. Overall, the project is slated to be complete some time in 2013.
