Lombard's long wait for a state-of-the-art library is nearly over. Officials announced last week that the current Helen M. Plum Memorial Library is closing on March 8 so books and other materials can be packed up and moved to a newly constructed building at 411 S. Main St. The new two-story structure is an impressive upgrade. Senior writer Katlyn Smith pointed out in a story Thursday that the Main Street building is more spacious than the existing library at 110 W. Maple St. It will include an auditorium, study rooms, a computer lab and a space for teens.
