          VISITORS AT GRAND PRAIRIE'S MAIN LIBRARY ARE FINDING A FRESH AND EXCITING NEW LOOK WAITING FOR THEM WHEN THEY GET THERE THESE DAYS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          THE LIBRARY'S BEAUTIFUL NEW MAIN ENTRANCE WAS OFFICIALLY CHRISTENED AT THE END OF JULY, THE LATEST STAGE IN A RENOVATION PROJECT THAT BEGAN OVER 10 YEARS AGO TO BRING THE CITY'S OLDEST PUBLIC LIBRARY INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. 
          FROM THE DISTINCTIVE SIGNAGE AND INVITING PLAZA AREA OUTSIDE TO THE UNIQUE AND QUOTABLE MURAL ON THE WALL JUST INSIDE TO THE BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS RECEPTION AREA. 
          THE IDEA IS TO BE A PLACE THAT PEOPLE OF ALL AGES WILL WANT TO COME IN AND EXPLORE FROM THE MOMENT THEY ARRIVE AT THE FRONT DOOR. 
          WE WANT THEM TO FEEL EXCITED, WELCOME, AND IT WANT TO BE A WELCOMING EFFECT. 
          AND YOU COME AND GO, WOW, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE. 
          HENCE, THE MAYOR'S QUOTE. 
          WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE FUN. 
          THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING HAD ALREADY BEEN REMODELED IN 2016, SO IT'S BRIGHT COLORS AND REALLY A WOW FACTOR. 
          BUT WHEN YOU CAME IN THE BUILDING, IT STILL LOOKED LIKE IT DID IN 2009. 
          IT WAS KIND, EH, AND THE ENTRANCE. 
          SO WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS MAKE A WOW FACTOR WITH THE ENTRANCE AND A WOW FACTOR WHEN YOU WALKED IN THE DOOR, AND WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT WE GOT DONE. 
          GRAND PRAIRIE'S MAIN LIBRARY IS OPEN DAILY, EXCEPT SUNDAYS FOR HOURS AND INFORMATION, INCLUDING THE NEW PROGRAMS AND SERVICES OFFERED AT ALL OF GPS LIBRARIES THIS FALL.
