2025 Project Timelines & Updates
We are tentatively planning to reseal the Main parking lot in front of the building before the end of August. The lot will be temporarily closed during this time.
Alternate parking will be available in the lot beside the building and in the Central lot across the street.
We'll share the exact dates here as soon as they're confirmed.
August 1: Our 12th Street entrance is temporarily closed. We're widening it to create a safer, two-way access to and from the library parking lot.
Please note:
- The entrance will be completely blocked during this time.
- Some parking spaces along Central Street will be used for construction equipment.
- Accessible parking spaces will be temporarily relocated – look for clear signage!
- Our flagpole will also be coming down temporarily and reinstalled later.
August 14: The 12th Street entrance is open! The flagpole is still under construction and will be reinstalled later.
New widened entrance:
Before:
July 15: Work began at our entrance at Main Library to install new, modern security gates. This is a key step in enhancing the safety of our collection and integrating with the new RFID system.
August 11: Work has also began at our entrance at Lapel Branch Library.
February-June: We've started the first phase of our major renovation! Our team is now physically tagging all library materials with RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology. This hidden tech will make tracking easier, improve inventory, and pave the way for faster, simpler checkouts and returns.
