"But I thought you guys were closed!"

NEW INFORMATION: The Main Library will close its temporary location at 6:00 pm FRIDAY, January 5, instead of Sunday, January 7 as previously reported. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please see our regular hours page for information about branch hours on Saturdays.

We will publish any further information on this blog (and other places) as soon as it becomes available.

Not exactly. Here's the rundown:

All of our branch locations are open their regular hours. However, ALL library locations will be closed Friday, January 19, for a Staff In-Service Day.

The Genealogy Department is closed, and will reopen on Saturday, January 27, at noon, with the rest of the library.

The rest of the Main Library is still open in its temporary location at 200 East Berry Street, but it will close at 6:00 pm on Friday (changed from Sunday, see top of post!), January 5, and won't reopen until the Grand Opening Celebration starts on Saturday, January 27, at noon, at 900 Library Plaza (formerly 900 Webster Street).

But! If you receive a notice that a hold is available for pickup at the Main Library, you can come to the Wayne Street entrance of the temporary location of the Main Library to pick it up and check it out during regular hours. (However, please note that it is currently not possible to choose the Main Library as a hold pickup location; only holds that have already been placed will become available for pickup at Main during the period that the Main Library is closed.)

Main Library staff will continue to provide telephone reference service during the period that the Main Library is closed. Please call 421-1200.
