Yorkville is experiencing a period of rapid growth and it's estimated that in 20 years Yorkville's population could be 40,000.  Thanks to Yorkville residents, who recently approved a bond sale that will allow for a 34,000 square foot addition to the existing 6,000 square foot library, the Yorkville Public Library will now be able to provide a modern facility for the community in anticipation of the population growth. The existing library will be able to remain open during nearly the entire construction period and, when the addition is complete, it will open as the new library while the existing building is renovated for use as meeting rooms that will serve public functions as well as library programs.
