On Saturday, the Broadview Public Library, 2226 S. 16th Ave., reopened the doors to its renovated lower level in a celebration that gathered hundreds of residents, library administrators and Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson.
While the library’s renovation was completed in 2020, restrictions related to COVID-19 and flooding on the lower level that happened in 2021, prevented users from accessing the lower level of the building, executive director Jack Bower said in a phone interview. In the meantime, users could visit the first floor and other areas in the library.
