Thank you for your patience during the main entrance closure this week! We appreciate your understanding as we’ve navigate these needed repairs. We’re nearly ready to reopen the main entrance. While removing the old sidewalk, we discovered that the original base layer was sand, instead of the recommended rock, which likely caused the cracking over time. The contractors have been preparing the area for our new sidewalk, and the cement is scheduled to be poured on Monday, October 21. If all goes as planned, we anticipate reopening the main entrance on Wednesday, October 23, one day later than originally planned).

Please note that the Library will be closed on Monday, October 21, for a staff development day, with a delayed opening at 1 p.m. opening on Tuesday, 10/22. However, drive-thru window services will remain open at 9 a.m on Tuesday, 10/22.

Tile work will also continue on Monday. Although we had hoped to preserve the mosaic tile, the removal of the green border tile revealed issues with cracking and instability throughout, leading to the decision to replace all the tile. Fortunately, our contingency budget covers this additional work, but it does mean that tile work will extend for at least another week. It should not impact any meeting rooms or entrances.
