Milwaukee

The North Shore Library reopened at 10 a.m. on Feb. 2 in its new Bayside building after years of planning and construction.

The new library, at 711 Grace St., contains a story time room for children's programming, nine study rooms, a stage area, a young adult section, a community gathering space and a sensory room.

The space is not yet in its final form, Library Director Rhonda Gould told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Over the next several weeks, staff will help move in more furniture, signage, art and equipment before a grand opening ceremony on March 14.

In the meantime, visitors can still explore the new space, check out books and other items, and utilize services for printing, scanning and faxing.
