Standing two stories tall and ringed in glass, the gleaming Graubner Library draws attention from motorists along Van Dyke. At about 24,000 square feet, it is about three times the size of the Romeo District Library, which is being renovated and should reopen this summer. Romeo's facility was donated by a couple under the condition it stay open as a library. The new library boasts a fireplace, areas for children, adults and teens. The only thing missing are the cappuccino machines and a drink bar.
Every new building has quirks.
