Hundreds of residents made their way downtown this past Saturday to get their first look inside the new Cedar River Library.

After a brief ribbon cutting ceremony that featured library and city officials, as well as Linda (Renton) Teddy-Skok, who cut the ribbon on the original building in 1961, residents flowed into the library for the first time since it closed last summer.
