The Atlantic Public Library will host a number of Community Meetings in the coming weeks to share a conceptual design for the new Memorial Reading Garden that is expected to be installed on the east side of the library building. The project will serve to highlight the original library entrance and changing the landscape of the front lawn.

The garden will include seven different levels of Memorial options. Pavers, planters, benches and tables are all available for memorial purchase.
