Howard County Public Library opened a new branch a few months back. I finally got an opportunity to stop by and visit this wonderful new branch. This new building is located on the same property that housed the previous Elkridge Branch, but it has been beautifully updated!
Howard County has always done a marvelous job of keeping their branches updated and current with the most modern resources and technology. This branch has something new and exciting - a tool library. You can check out tools, take them home and use them for the full checkout period and then return them. Talk about a huge money saving device that benefits the community!
The Elkridge Library is located just off of Route 1 in Elkridge.
As always, I post pictures without people's faces. As always, I struggle to get enough pictures without people's faces. For the middle of a weekday afternoon, this place was absolutely packed. I took as many pictures as I could to get a good idea of what the branch looks like, and I posted what reflects the branch without posting pictures of people's faces.

| The site plan for the library. I like the dedicated wetlands and green space. |

| This is the tool library. I really like that it's separate from the rest of the building. |

| Library entrance. It's got a very sleek, modern feel to it. |

| I'm a big fan of the bubble wall along the side! |
