Denmark Library: A Year in Review

On March 27 we will be celebrating the first anniversary of the opening of Denmark Library. It’s hard to believe a year has already passed! Take a look at some of our favorite moments over the past year.


News article in Forsyth County News about the opening of Denmark Library.

“When Denmark Library had opened and my picture was in the Forsyth County News.” – Leena, Information Specialist


“Opening the doors on March 27 and cheering for the first patrons who entered. Seeing the joy on their faces as they walked into the building was absolutely priceless!” – Lorraine, Circulation Supervisor

The first patrons to enter the library received a warm welcome!

“I’m truly grateful to have been part of this journey from the very beginning, even before the building opened to the public. Watching everything come together from scratch has been such a rewarding experience. It feels like having all the pieces of a toy and seeing it finally come to life once it’s fully built.” – Sravanthi, Collection Support Aide

“One of my favorite memories from last summer was working with the VolunTEENS! We had some amazing teens come to volunteer and help us out all summer. I especially loved seeing them excited to hold the snake at the end of the Wildlife Wonders program!” – Leslie, Youth Specialist

“In less than a year, I've been spoiled by too many great Denmark memories to ever fully mention. But my all-time favorite comes down to one of these two, both from before I was even an employee: first, the beautiful spring day on which we first heard from the school intercom that our neighbor was opening its doors for the first time, when all of us students got to finally explore the masterpiece we'd been watching assemble next to us over the past three years (I'll never forget literally jumping out of my seat as this sneak announcement surprised me in the morning briefing); and, second, the chance connection made with a fabulous juggler who came to perform during our first summer reading, which ended in my receiving an unexpected gift of exceptional comics bounty (ain't being a VolunTEEN great??). I love this amazing place and I'll be thankful for it forever!!!” – Jade, Collection Support Aide
