What the renovation added
Gretna Branch Library’s 2023 renovation expanded into space formerly used by Danville Community College, creating a 6,372-square-foot facility. The county’s account describes adult reading space, public computers, an audiovisual-equipped meeting room and dedicated teen and children’s areas.
Outdoor additions included reading patios, a music maze, a walking trail and a stage.
Planning your library visit
Those changes help explain how the branch can support several purposes in one trip: study, computer work, reading or a children’s program. The reopening took place September 26, 2023.
Programs and room reservations
Current programming and room reservations are separate questions. Contact the library before organizing an activity around a particular space; the renovation announcement is not a guarantee of today’s room availability.
