Signs of Progress at the Warren Civic Center Library

This week, staff, books, equipment and other materials are being moved into the Warren Civic Center Library. An opening date has not been set, as the library is waiting for the communications network to be installed and the 60+ computers to arrive. Please bear with us during this transitional period - we believe it will be worth the wait.
