CONWAY — North Conway Public Library recently held an unveiling of a new monument to grace the entrance to the building, which is still in the process of a major renovation.
The construction project, which includes an addition that will double the size of the building, along with extensive renovations of the interior, is expected to be completed by Labor Day.
