The Kennett Library board held a brief ceremony at the Willow and State Street site Thursday morning.</p> </div> <div> <p class="CFL">More than 100 people were on hand, including library board members, all three Chester County Commissioners, U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlihan, state Reps. Craig Williams and Christina Sappey, state Sen. John Kane, and many others interested in the project.</p> </div> <div> <p class="CFL">Library Board President Jeff Yetter called the project a long time coming, but that it was “truly a community project.” He said the library is planned with a 110-seat auditorium and will have 14 state-of-the-art meeting rooms.</p> </div> <div> <div id="attachment_193878" style="width: 219px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a target="_blank" href="https://chaddsfordlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1JF8385-Fetick.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-193878" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-193878" src="https://chaddsfordlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1JF8385-Fetick-209x300.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="300" srcset="https://chaddsfordlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1JF8385-Fetick-209x300.jpg 209w, https://chaddsfordlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1JF8385-Fetick-104x150.jpg 104w, https://chaddsfordlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1JF8385-Fetick-150x215.jpg 150w, https://chaddsfordlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1JF8385-Fetick-348x500.jpg 348w, https://chaddsfordlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1JF8385-Fetick-300x431.jpg 300w, https://chaddsfordlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1JF8385-Fetick.jpg 376w" sizes="(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-193878" class="wp-caption-text">Kennett...</p></div></div></div> <style> .wrapper { text-align: center; } </style> <div class="wrapper"> <a class="button" href ="https://chaddsfordlive.com/2021/08/12/groundbreaking-for-new-ksq-library/">Read full Story <span>➤</span></a> </div>
