📖 About Meridian Library — unBound
<p>Launched in 2015 and permanently anchored at 722 E. 2nd Street since April 2021, unBound occupies a building with its own entrepreneurial history — a former electronics repair shop dating to 1949. The $1.3 million renovation transformed the space into a hub where MLD patrons access 3D printing, cutting-edge makerspace equipment, SCORE business mentorship sessions, and workforce-development workshops. It is the only branch in the district without a traditional circulating collection, purpose-built instead to support the creative and business ambitions of Meridian's fast-growing community.</p>
