Library closes children's theater during renovations; children's area expected to reopen by mid‑June
Summary
A library representative told commissioners Zone 1 construction started on the children's theater and the children's area was temporarily closed; the children's area is expected to reopen by mid‑June ahead of the summer reading program, with Zones 2 and 3 each taking about 8–10 weeks.
A library representative described the ongoing renovation project and phasing plan, including construction zones and an anticipated timeline. Work began in Zone 1 (children's theater); jackhammering required closing the children's theater and moving many high‑circulation items to other areas. The library expects the children's area to be ready by the summer reading launch in mid‑June.
The representative said Zone 2 will likely take about 8–10 weeks and Zone 3 an additional 8–10 weeks; Zone 4 will be funded through donations including funds from the Reddington Fund. The county will post updated CAD drawings and scheduling information online once the final budget is approved.
