Yachats library nears completion; grand opening set for Feb. 28
Summary
City staff said the new Yachats library is largely finished, will operate varying hours (commonly noon–3 p.m.), and that final bookcases are expected to arrive at the end of the month to allow a grand opening on February 28.
City infrastructure clerk Neil Morphis said the new library project is essentially complete and that staff are awaiting the final bookcases: "We have some of the bookcases, but we're still waiting on more bookcases that are going to show up in Oregon at the end of this month and then be installed in the library at the beginning of next month." He said once the final bookcases arrive staff will move books out of storage and prepare for full public service.
O'Shaughnessy and Morphis described typical open hours as "Noon to 3, but also it varies from day to day," and said the library will host a grand opening on February 28 after installation of remaining fixtures. They praised the general contractor (Unitas Services) and subcontractors for maintaining tidy, orderly building sites during construction. The article notes the hours and grand‑opening date as reported by staff; no formal council action on operating hours was recorded in the interview.
