Exciting Changes at the Cook Public Library
If you’ve recently passed by the Cook Public Library, you may have noticed some exciting changes. The updates are thanks to a “Downtown Revitalization” grant that the city of Cook received from the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board (IRRRB). This grant allowed for the addition of a beautiful pergola and an impressive moose statue. These new features enhance the library’s landscape and bring charm to the area.
Enhancing the Downtown Area
These changes are part of a broader effort to revitalize Cook’s downtown. The goal is to make the area more inviting for residents and visitors. The pergola and moose statue provide a peaceful spot for people to relax. They complement the library’s existing charm and contribute to its beauty.
Contributions from the Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Library group has also made significant contributions. They added colorful flower pots to the area, bringing life and vibrancy. Looking ahead, they plan to add tables and chairs, creating a comfortable outdoor seating area for library patrons.
Outdoor Space for Community Engagement
While the library building remains closed, the outdoor space offers a new way for the community to engage. Patrons can sit outside and use the library’s free wifi. It’s an excellent opportunity to work, study, or relax in the fresh air. The addition of seating will make this space even more inviting for everyone.
Easy Access to Library Resources
The library continues to offer services despite being closed to the public. Books can be checked out online or by phone. Once checked out, they can be picked up curbside, making it easy for patrons to access library materials.
