CONWAY — The Pope Memorial Library will be holding its grand opening for the library expansion on Sunday, June 5, from 2-4 p.m.
The $3.9 million expansion project started on the North Conway Public Library in September 2019, with much of the work done in 2020 while the building had to be closed to the public due to COVID-19.
