Seeing is believing at the Lone Cone Library
When Carrie Andrew came into the then-named Norwood Public Library in 2010, the nearly 2,000 square-foot building perched on the corner of Summit and Lucerne Streets was bursting at the seams. Now, as she’s wrapping up her directorship, the last phase of the master plan is being settled for the...
