PUEBLO — An important resource has reopened on the northeast side of Pueblo! The Barkman Library is set to reopen next week after undergoing a more than $4 million facelift.
These improvements include the following:
- a new kids space
- a bigger community room
- a bridge that connects the library to Belmont Park
These upgrades were funded by a voter-approved bond measure from 2019.
A formal ribbon cutting will take place next Tuesday at 9 a.m. After that, there are a series of events celebrating the opening including:
