The SBCPL had a foam-tastic 10 Year Anniversary Celebration! We want to thank the Shelbyville-Bedford County Chamber of Commerce for their role in the groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting of the library's new patio addition, and we are so grateful for each and every individual, group, and local business who participated in making this event happen as well as everyone who attended.

Mrs. Rheaetta Wilson was incredibly missed during this event. This celebration, like all future events, was done in her everlasting memory.

We encourage everyone to support each local group and business who attended. We are looking forward to another 10 years, and many more, at the Shelbyville-Bedford County Public Library!
