Preparing for what's Next

2/23/2024

We're giving everyone a heads up that the library will likely be closed Monday, March 4 through Saturday, March 16. The construction crew will replace the central staircase at this time, which will mean cutting the retiring staircase into small sections in order to remove it.  Also, a crew will be installing steel support beams to expand the second floor. This work will create an incredibly loud and potentially dangerous environment for our patrons, thus the closure. Also during this time, the library team will prepare for providing service on the second floor. After this closure, the library will be open on the second floor only. Patrons will enter from a side door and use the elevator.

We will have more details for you soon about curbside and other services during the closure, as well as visiting the library when we reopen. Thanks for your patience, and stay tuned!

Making progress

The project is really coming along on the second floor! Last week, architect Ray White visited the library to confer with Eric, site manager. 

Carpet has been installed and walls have been painted in the new Teen Room and the Literacy Council Room. The new blue and familiar orange colors look fantastic! 

Workers are currently tiling the restrooms in the basement and on the second floor, with a sleek new look. 

The library and construction teams are hard at work to coordinate a two-week closure of the library for loud, heavy work to take place on the central staircase. Tentatively, the library will be closed the first two full weeks in March. Additionally, during this time, library staff will prepare for providing service on the second floor. 

We're so excited to share the new space with you! Stay tuned for more details.
