ANNOUNCEMENTS
library announcement
Library Renovation Site Closures

Starting Monday, Nov. 11, Turner Construction will begin installation of the fence that will enclose the job site for the library renovation. Pedestrian circulation immediately around the library will be impacted accordingly, but access to all adjacent buildings will remain. A covered pedestrian walkway will be installed at the main entrance to the library to provide continued access into the building during Phase I. 

The fence for Phase I is expected to be in place through July 2025. At that time, a new south entrance to the building will be opened up and the fence location will shift to accommodate Phase II of construction. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we get this important project underway.

Please contact the office of Planning and Construction at (409) 880-7085 if you have any questions or comments.
