Long Overdue

Workers are diligently completing the structure for the new multi-million dollar library on Canton Center Road in Canton Township.

Jim McBride, below left, a carpenter and Warren Bostic, blow right, a welder and iron worker, hope to complete the structure on schedule. A grand opening is expected sometime this fall.
