Hundreds of people lined up on the streets of Cape May on Thursday to transport some of the books of the Cape May library branch to the new location in
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.
The rehabilitation of the historic Franklin Street School in Cape May into Cape May County s newest library is complete, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 3 p.m. June 13.
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.
A brick-and-glass remnant of segregation is just over halfway to becoming a new center for knowledge as work continues on the $11 million transformation of the Franklin Street School into a new Cape May library branch.
