The grand opening of the Wisdom Lane Middle School library attracted all the buildings' readers on Feb. 14. The library recently underwent a top-to-bottom renovation, expanding the learning opportunities librarians will provide.

The ribbon was cut to the sound of cheers as administrators, building leaders and students gathered for the opening. Inside, the library featured newly organized bookshelves with new books, plenty of tables and chairs to read on and a SmartBoard. Classes will soon start utilizing the space for lessons with the support of librarian Caitlin Stabile and senior library clerk Robyn Walsh.

"I'm mostly excited that kids are so excited," Stabile said. "It's already a popular place to be, now it'll get extra attention."

"I've been anticipating this for months now," said eighth grader Adam Wong.

"I read a lot, so I'm excited for all the new books," said Fiona Adams, also in eighth grade. "I'll be here as often as I can come."

"We're very excited about the new design of the library," Principal John Avena said. "We look forward to all students and staff utilizing the space as we move forward."
