Renovation update:

Renovation work is nearing completion and we expect the contractors to be finished before the end of January, 2011. Thank you for your patience during this long planned for work at the Library.

There will be many great benefits once the work is completed. The Library will have a new, larger craft/program room that can be divided into two smaller rooms. There will be a dedicated Quiet Lounge where readers can escape the hustle and bustle of our busy Library. The Library will also have a proper Local History Room. To improve our workflow, backroom operations have been redesigned and relocated downstairs and returns have been consolidated at the Checkout Desk. Five original windows have also been replaced for energy efficiency.

The Library will also be debuting two new and improved self-checkout stations. A Tween lounge will be opening near the Tween Fiction collection, made possible by the South Brunswick Assets Initiative and Municipal Alliance. And area for a future café has also been set aside with hopes for a grand opening this summer once a vendor is selected.

We look forward to serving you in new and greater ways in 2011!
