The last project to be financed by a metropolitan improvement bond issue has been completed.
The new Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library, a $24 million project in downtown Oklahoma City, will open to the public on Tuesday.
The building is the last of the city's nine Metropolitan Area Projects to open, and underwent more than three years of delays because of site problems and legal battles over a subcontractor's delivery of disputed exterior panels.
On Friday 3,000 people participated in a ceremonial book passing, bringing the new books to the library.
"It's a wonderful piece of art in its own right. It's got an amazing view of City Hall and the county courthouse," Mayor Mick Cornett said.
