Addison Public Library

Last Sunday, we also celebrated the ribbon cutting of Sam’s Lab, our brand new makerspace!

Sam’s Lab honors Satyanarayana “Sam” Gunda—an engineer, business owner, mentor, and dedicated community advocate. After arriving in the U.S. from India in 1971, he built a life in Addison through his pioneering work in technology and tireless service to others, embodying the belief that opportunity and possibility belong to everyone. He championed exploration, learning, growth, and technology—values that inspire Sam’s Lab.

We were honored to celebrate with the Gunda family and share Sam’s life, memory, and legacy with our community through Sam’s Lab.

Congrats to the winner of our Time Capsule Coloring Contest!

As part of our building renovation, we created a time capsule to be opened in 2062 for our 100th anniversary.

Here's Alessia's message for the future:
"I hope lots of kids and adults still love this library for a long time."
