Library CLOSED Monday and Tuesday

The Visalia Library will be CLOSED on Monday, June 25th and Tuesday, June 26th.

On these days the current circulation desk area will be walled off and eventually demolished.

On Wednesday, when we open again, the public will enter the building using the temporary entrance on the north side of the building.

Sorry for the inconvenience! This will be the last closure for a while.

Walkways being poured...

Walkways are being poured this morning for the new temporary entrance at the north side of the building:

Use of the temporary entrance may begin ...

The County has procured the services of a concrete contractor. The work will begin this Friday. The work should be concluded by Monday June 25th. There may still be sprinkler and/or yard work that needs to be completed on the 25th or later.

So, we will start having customers using the temporary entrance starting on June 25th:

We do not know yet when the building contractor will put up the temporary wall in the 1976 building. It could be on June 25th. We may have to close a day or two while this is being done.

Update

On Tuesday May 29th workers started mitigating the asbestos roof lining on the old Visalia City Library building. At this point, it looks like they may be finished at the end of this week or the beginning of next week.


The new cement work on the North side of the building has been delayed a bit. This will cause a delay in moving to the new entrance by at least a week. The soonest we will be using the temporary North entrance is June 25th.
