New Bedford Public Library Opens

Today was the grand opening for the new Bedford Public Library. It is a marvelous building featuring state of the art technology and environmentally friendly features, created from the old Food Lion grocery store. The city has already received a check from Oncor for excess electricity generated by the solar panels and geothermal field. The new building features a book return sorting machine ("more fun to watch than the tortilla machine"), many computers, and user friendly areas "for learning, for leisure, for life!"
