New library wraps-up construction, but some work still lies ahead
Flathead County Library staff stepped foot inside the newly finished Bigfork branch for the first time last week, marveling at the transformation the space has gone through since construction began last fall.
“This location is going to show the valley what a 21st century library is like, I hope it gets people excited,” Communications and Outreach Librarian Lune Axelsen said.
There’s still landscaping to perform, furniture to place and, of course, books to put on the shelves. But for those who have been working toward a new Bigfork branch of Flathead County Library for more than a decade, the completed construction means they are very close to giving the community a brand new library.
