UPDATE: December 11, 2020—With the cold weather here, the construction has ended for the year. The completion date’s been moved to May 2021, with the hope that all work will be completed prior to that date. With the unexpected warmer temps, crews managed to complete half of the project work. The dumpsters, trailer, and equipment will be moved over the winter so that patrons can access the library’s back parking lot. Thank you! For a little while longer, please park in the lower parking lot on Washington Ave.

UPDATE: October 21, 2020—The library’s main entrance will NOT be accessible Thursday, Oct. 22, due to construction work on the front porch. Please use the side entrance. As a reminder, the back parking lot is not available due to construction. Please use the lower parking lot. Thank you for your understanding!

We are excited to announce that the BCL Pillar and Restoration Project has started! The main library parking lot (back of library) will NOT be accessible during construction, except the handicapped parking slot. Please park in the lower parking lot on Washington Avenue. Construction is expected to last for the next two months.

The start date will likely be in mid-September. Check our website home page for project updates!
