Courtyards

Bittersweet Branch

Bittersweet Courtyard Grand Opening Celebration - June 24, 2021

The courtyard at the Bittersweet Branch is the perfect oasis to relax in a peaceful environment. Renovations were completed in the summer of 2021 to include a small stepped amphitheater which creates a multifunctional space for reading, seasonal library programs, future theater, musical or other types of performances. The outdoor space provides a safe, fenced-in area with benches and umbrella seating. Patrons are welcome to bring a blanket and a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful area during regular hours of operation. Wii-Fi is available. The courtyard is accessible from within the building through the Youth Services area. Please note the courtyard area is open seasonally and weather permitting.

A pergola provides additional seating and activity space. Patrons are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful area. Wi-Fi is available from the courtyard.
