The Library will begin interior renovation work on Monday, April 13, as part of the ongoing repair project following water damage caused by the winter ice storm.

This phase of the project includes carpet replacement, along with related repairs and improvements in several areas of the building. Work will affect the Main Library, Teen Room, Hurr Room, Children’s Room, and office areas.

Although the carpet in the Children’s Room was salvageable, it had already been scheduled for replacement next year. Because work in that area was already going to cause disruption, the Library expanded the project to replace the carpet now. Completing the work at the same time is more efficient and more cost-effective.

The Library will remain open during the project, but visitors should expect:

• rotating closures of some areas
• reduced seating throughout the building
• noise, dust, and general disruption
• temporary interruption of some services, including computers, printing, and copying

Specific service impacts will vary as work moves through the building. We will post updates here regularly so visitors know what to expect.

We appreciate your patience as we complete these improvements and work to restore and refresh affected areas of the building. More information is available in the Library Director’s letter to the community.
