Slover Library: World of Wonders Coming Soon

Over the decades Hampton Roads Community Foundation donors have helped build some impressive and needed nonprofit facilities throughout southeastern Virginia. We are excited that $685,000 in donor grants are helping build the Colonel Samuel L. Slover Memorial Library, which will open in downtown Norfolk, Virginia in January 2015. It is destined to be a gathering place for book and information lovers of all ages and interests.

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation is honored to administer $2.7 million Virginian-Pilot Fund, which was created in 2010 to support future technology needs of the new library. When it opens, the Slover Library likely will be the country's most technologically-advanced library. But, it will take constant attention and upgrades to keep it in the lead.  

This altdaily.com piece entitled Ten Reasons You Are Going to Love the Slover Memorial Library gives a good glimpse into what wonders await us in January when the Slover Library opens. Until then you can get a sneak peek at the new library's technology at a Slover Library preview center open in downtown Norfolk at 230 E. Main Street on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.



Norfolk's Slover Library will be a high-tech gathering place for people of all ages.
