MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – During a visit to Middletown last Wednesday, Congressman Mike Thompson stopped by to see the new Middletown Senior Center and Library.

The new facility had its grand opening last month. It’s located at 21256 Washington St.

Thompson said it’s a beautiful building.

He also suggested that bringing the library and senior center together pays special dividends because seniors can interact with children and children can interact with seniors.

Thompson also presented a US flag for the building to Supervisor Jim Comstock and Voris Brumfield.
