New library offers convenience, services
Montezuma has a new, modern library facility right along Main Street.
The 6,000-square-foot building was a gift in 2005 from the Frank Brownell and his son, Pete Brownell of Brownells Inc. The library honors the memory of Frank's late wife, Nancy, who was an avid reader.
The land was donated by the City of Montezuma.
Money to furnish the interior was raised by various fund raising projects.
Local school children helped to move all of the books from the former library to its present location.
