Arroyo Grande Library will close July 16 for major renovations!
We’re updating the library to current building codes. The library is getting new restrooms, a new children’s area, new HVAC system, fire sprinklers, and more. This project is partially funded by a California State Library Infrastructure Grant.
A temporary location for holds pickups and returns opens July 16 next door to the Arroyo Grande Library, at the Chamber of Commerce. It will be open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 1-6, and Saturdays 1-5.
Staff will be available at the current Arroyo Grande Library phone number through July 15. Hours and phone number for the temporary location will be updated at SLOLibrary.org July 15.
We’re not sure how long the renovations will take. We’ll know more as the project progresses--we’ll keep you updated. Thanks for your patience while we make these much-needed improvements!
