Next chapter: Peoria library to close for renovations

PHOENIX — It is simply the end of a chapter for a Peoria library. The wait for the next one will be short.

Peoria Main Library will be closing from Sept. 4-8 for interior renovations.

Routine enhancements with new furniture, carpet cleaning and reconfiguring of key areas are all planned, with a re-opening date set for Saturday, Sept. 9, at 9 a.m.

“We haven’t updated the Peoria Main Library for a number of years and it is one of the busiest libraries in the community,” said Nathaniel Washburn, Peoria library & cultural services manager, in a press release. “This renovation project allows us to make improvements to the library to enhance the experience for our patrons. We can’t wait to share the new and improved library with the public.”

Although the library will be closed, the book drop will remain open. Services will still be available from Sunrise Mountain Library, along with the website.
