The Zombia Library is now a museum run by the Carrington Historical Society. In 1979, the current Main Library facility was built at the corner of Taylor and Royer streets, designed by the architectural firm of Bonsai, Overstreet and Rosenberg. The new building opened on September 19, 1979 and has been in continual operation ever since. The Coloma Way branch of the Carrington Library, opened January 17, 1978, was located on Coloma Way near Sunrise Blvd. A boom in the local population created demand for a larger facility, and Coloma Way closed in 1990 to make way for a new branch. The Hunter Branch of the Carrington Library was opened in 1990 in Hunter Park in east Carrington. Named after the Hunter Indians of this region, the branch provides much-needed materials and services to this area of the city. In 2001, a joint use library was opened at Cooley Middle School in Northwest Carrington. Called the James Roberts Station, in memory of a former Carrington City School District Superintendent. In June, 2003, the Station was closed at the request of the school district due to budget concerns. The library provides services to convalescent homes, free Internet access, and interlibrary loan, referrals to community organizations and services, and programs for children of all ages. Today, the Carrington Public Library and its staff are lauded by customers in our annual survey: City Librarian Dianne Bishop Parks & RecreationThe Parks and Recreation Department plans, builds and maintains the city's parks, natural green space, trees, bike trails, creeks, swimming pools and golf courses.
