The New River Branch Library will be closing Oct. 1 to prepare for an extensive makeover, according to a Pasco County news release.
The renovation is being paid for funding provided through a general obligation bond approved by voters in November 2018 to upgrade Pasco County’s seven branch libraries.
Voters also approved general obligation bonds to pay for improvements to the county’s parks, to expand the county’s fire rescue services and to build a jail expansion.
The New River Branch Library project is expected to be completed by Summer 2020. The Centennial Park Branch Library in Hudson will be closed for renovations at the same time.
The library projects will include updated technology, new outdoor spaces, more accessible parking, updated furnishings, high-efficiency air conditioning systems, high-speed internet and makerspaces.
Library staff will be at alternate local venues to provide continued services and programs.
Please visit the Pasco County Libraries website, PascoLibraries.org for updated program information.
