Cape May s new branch of the Cape May County Library system opened on Franklin Street Thursday, in a long-vacant, formerly segregated school, an $11 million, 18-month project, funded by the city, the Cape May County Library Commission and county government, along with a grant from the New Jersey State Library.
It appears that the opening of a new Cape May library branch will take at least months longer than anticipated, but for now, residents have not lost their patience, Mayor Zack Mullock said Monday.
At a recent town hall meeting in Cape May, the mayor and the project architect described a new branch library on Franklin Street in glowing terms. The new branch of the county library system is planned to open early next year in a building that once served as a segregated school.
