A record-setting crowd attended the Grand Opening of Loudoun County's new Gum Spring Library. Over 6,500 people passed through the doors on the first day
There’s no doubt that the big attraction in Loudoun County, Virginia, this past weekend was the Grand Opening of the new Gum Spring Library! Over 6,500 people came through the door on the first day, Saturday, February 23, setting a new record for library openings in the area.
Lots of people were interested in learning about the non-profit support group for the new Gum Spring Library known as the FROGS - the Friends of the Gum Spring Library.
The day kicked off with a ribbon-cuting ceremony at 11:00 that included welcomes and speeches, a color guard from the local Girl Scouts, and face painting and custom balloon animals for the kids. Everyone was excited to see the neighborhood finally realize its dream of a gorgeous new library!
