According to library officials, the central branch of the Denver Public Library will be temporarily closed until November due to ongoing renovations. However, they want to assure the community that they will still be offering convenient services such as curbside pickup and remote assistance. This news was announced on Thursday, providing updates on the progress of the library's construction.
The renovation project has been in full swing, with construction crews already completing upgrades to various areas such as program spaces, bathrooms, the children's library, meeting rooms, elevators, and Schelessman Hall. These improvements are aimed to enhance the overall experience for library-goers, making it a more comfortable and modern space for everyone to enjoy.
Library officials also mentioned that there are still ongoing projects that need to be completed, such as addressing deferred maintenance and relocating certain services within the library. These are all part of the plan to make the central branch an even better resource for the community.
Funding for these upgrades was made possible through the 2017 Elevate Denver bond, where voters approved a budget of almost $1 billion for various city projects such as road improvements, park developments, and upgrades to health and cultural facilities. In total, the Denver Public Library received $69.3 million from this measure, which has greatly contributed to the ongoing renovations.
While the central branch may be temporarily closed, the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library and Ross-Broadway Branch Library are still open and ready to serve the community. As for the central branch, there is already a date set for the grand reopening on November 3rd, which is something to look forward to.
