Linebaugh Library Director Rita Shacklett announced that the goal of opening the Community Technology Center (CTC) in the Hobgood area is by the end of 2015.
She noted that they are want to lease or purchase 5,000 square feet of space with a large amount of parking.
Another need is for a second project: locating the genealogy section of the library at the Rutherford County Archives building on Rice Street. Shacklett is hopeful that a business or individual will donate $1.5-million to construct this facility. The naming rights could honor a person or group.
The WINTER READING PROGRAM for the library was also announced: January 26 through March 7, 2015. This is open to persons ages 14-adults. There are great prizes, including cash! Check their website: http://www.linebaugh.org/
