  1. Library Closed While We Move Into Our Renovated Building

    The library renovation and expansion project is coming to an end and the outside of the new library building is looking great! There’s still work that needs to be done on the inside including moving our entire collection into its new home and setting up public and staff spaces. Our temporary location (at 601 S. Oak St.) is now close permanently and we have suspended curbside pickup service. The library building at 120 N. Virginia Ave will re-open in August/September. Learn more...
