Library Renovations

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. 

Main Parking Lot Resealing

We are planning to reseal the Main parking lot in front of the building the weekend after Labor Day (September 5-8, weather permitting). 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.

September 8: Completed.

Lapel Parking Lot Milling & Paving

Work is underway on the Lapel parking lot, which will be milled and paved between August 27-September 2. During this time, street parking will be available. Please note that access to the Holds Pick Up Locker and Book Returns will be limited.

September 2: Completed.

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.

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.
