Closed Sept. 30 - October 20 for the Final Move!

  • It's the final move of 80,000 items and offices into the new space. 
  • Youth services will move into its newly remodeled home and the addition will become all adult space. 
  • Staff will move from the community room and side offices to rest in office areas in the remodeled space. 
  • Safety issues require that we be closed for this move. 
  • Like the layers of a cake each item has to be undertaken -- additional shelving and furniture will be delivered, constructed and placed; collections will be removed from shelves and packed; movers will unpack 80,000 items onto final shelf spaces; the final placement for library computers and phone lines, etc.
It's quite the process and while we know it temporarily closes the library we truly are so proud to bring this construction to completion!  Customers will love the opportunities to find a niche - we have created many community social areas for everyone to find their perfect spot or comfy zone, to be social or to study and read.   It is a busy and exciting time as the construction process ends and the final vision of the new space can be experienced.  The beautiful expanded and remodeled library features:

·         6 study rooms

·         Heroes Quiet Reading Room

·         Family Activity Room

·         Teen Room

·         Copy Center

·         24 public computers

·         Sun Room & more!

 This move and final placement of collections requires a 3-week closing period until we reopen on Monday, October 21st.  A Grand Opening is being planned for later this fall.
