Last Friday the Valley Youth Center official re-opened with a special dedication ceremony to celebrate 14 years of community service.

The new parking lot is still another 2-3 weeks away from being complete, but progress is being made and the old lot is being repaved.
Construction crews are working on the finishing touches of the new parking lot at the Huntingdon Valley Library. The new lot sits across from the old one at the lower entrance off Red Lion Rd.

The top entrance to the library is also being repaved and was blocked off for most of the day.
