The new Burkhardt Branch is a result of the Library’s facilities project, Libraries for a Smarter Future, which stems from a $187 million bond issued passed by the Montgomery County voters in 2012 and has allowed the Dayton Library to update or renovate all of its Branches and Operations Center downtown, the release said.
Two facilities remain in the project, including Northmont’s new Branch, scheduled to open this fall and Huber Heights’ new Branch, opening tentatively next spring, according the Dayton Metro Library.
