Library director Audrea Clairmont tells Your WEKT News Edge the new facility at 507 South Main Street in Elkton has seen some great progress.
The $4.1 million building will feature more space for the library.

The grant will provide $212,150 yearly for 20 years, according to WEKT News Edge contributor Carolyn Wells. The building is being constructed by C&C Contracting, LLC, of Russellville.
Clairmont says for now, the facility at 302 East Main Street, is open six days a week.

Also, on the week of Halloween, the library will host a “frightful animals program.”
