Riverhead School District officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday unveiling the new high school library.

Superintendent Nancy Carney described the new space, which includes two computer labs, as “befitting students who are learning in the Computer Age.”

“The room is now a modern and beautiful environment where our students can conduct research with up-to-date technology, work on projects in small group settings, or read and work independently in comfortable spaces,” she said.

The project was paid for through a $78.3 million construction bond project voters approved in 2011.
