Capital Improvement Project Begins this Fall!



The Library Board has approved a major capital improvement project for the Library. Based on feedback from residents as part of the Library’s Strategic Plan, three areas of the Library will be renovated beginning the third week in October. The meeting room will undergo an expansion and renovation of the entire space with upgraded technology and new furnishings. Other improvements include a new, modern circulation desk relocated to the center of the building and a new public computer area relocated near the entrance.


The building will remain open through most of the construction period and will only be closed on days when absolutely necessary for staff and patron safety. Updates on the project and closed days will be posted on our website and social media outlets.


Construction is expected to begin in mid-October and run through early February. Thank you in advance for your patience!

 

Meeting Room Unavailable During Renovation

Curbside Pi.png

Due to a dramatic decrease in demand, Curbside Pickup will no longer be available after October 1, 2021. We are pleased to have been able to offer this service for over a year when Library hours were limited.  Now that hours are back to normal, we invite you to come inside to pick up materials and take advantage of all Library services. For your safety, plexiglass is still in place and regular building cleaning continues.
