With renovations now complete at Pearland’s Tom Reid Library, a soft opening is planned for March 7, with a grand opening event being planned in April. The temporary library location 2341 Galveston Ave., Pearland, officially closed Feb. 28 and book drop service resumed at the new location March 1. The $4.5 million renovation was a joint effort between the city and the Brazoria County Library System and was paid for by a bond approved by voters. The renovated library has an additional 8,174 square feet, offering new areas including a children’s storytime room and computer labs. 3522 Liberty Dr., Pearland. 281-652-1677. http://bcls.lib.tx.us
