Grasselli Library has been under construction for the last few months, and the work continues. The Carroll News took an investigative look into the construction, especially on the third floor. Library staff reported that the second floor is expected to be completed by May.

Upon entering the library, guests are greeted by signs illustrating how the updates will look when completed. The current wave of construction is expected to be finished by May.
