Parks – Work has begun in earnest on the new $2 million Parks Library branch of the St. Martin Parish Library.
Groundbreaking ceremonies were held at the end of May for the new branch library on a lot adjacent to the village’s City Hall.
By this past week, the foundation for the 3,599-square foot building had been poured and rough framing of the walls was well under way.
The St. Martin Parish Council accepted donation of the property in late 2025 and approved the winning low bid of $2.184 million in April.
The project is expected to be complete in February of 2027.
The library will include a meeting room children’s room, teen and adult area, collection shelving, two collaborative study rooms, public computers, public restrooms, a staff area and lounge seating and storage.
