Word on the Street
The Excelsior Springs Branch will close at 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 16, in order to repair the road that is utilized by the Library for access to the parking lot.

The Library is working with two businesses on that road, Dr. Spotless Carwash and EZ Quick Lube, to undertake a more extensive repair to resolve the seasonal issues that have occurred for several years with the shared road.

The branch will be closed for approximately three weeks, depending on weather. We appreciate your patience and will let you know when the Excelsior Springs Branch is ready to reopen.
