BELLEVILLE - ROMULUS

A special welcome

Holiday cheer is in the air in Romulus espe-
cially now that Santa has officially arrived.
Last week, the city welcomed Santa during
the annual Christmas Tree Lighting
Ceremony. Residents gathered to enjoy a
fun-filled, family friendly event with food, hot
cocoa and festive lights. Mayor Robert
McCraight, with help from his grandchil-
dren, presented Santa with the key to the
city. Residents were also encouraged to
bring nonperishable food donations for the
“Stuff the Bus” charity drive in support of
Romulus Helping Hand. Several city coun-
cil members and their families were in
attendance to help the city officially begin
the holiday season.

Library renovations are ‘on budget’ and ‘on schedule’

Renovations at the Romulus Public Library are
well under way, according to Library Director
Patty Braden. Members of the Library Board
approved a major capital improvement at the
facility and based on feedback from the resi-
dents, three areas of the library are being remod-
eled. The meeting room will undergo an expan-
sion and renovation of the entire space with
upgraded technology and new furnishings. Other
improvements include a new, modern circulation
desk relocated to the center of the building and a
new public computer area relocated near the
entrance. The building will remain open through
most of the construction period and will only be
closed on days when absolutely necessary for
staff and patron safety. Updates on the project
and closed days are posted on the library web-
site and social media outlets, Braden said.
Construction will continue through early February.
