The first phase of the shared underground parking garage is nearing completion and work is progressing rapidly on the library’s new two-story rear addition. Support columns are already being poured on the second floor of the addition!
When the new addition is completed later this summer, the library will temporarily move into the new space, utilizing the new underground parking. The next phase of the project will then begin and will see the complete renovation of all three floors of the original library building, and the construction of the second half of the underground parking garage.
Sometime during the summer of 2012, a temporary closure of the Main Library will be required to facilitate the move into our new addition. Details of this temporary closure will be provided closer to the actual move.
As always, our four community libraries will remain open as usual and we anticipate minimal disruption to library service.
