Library Renovations
The Richmond Public Library is planning some renovations. We are putting new carpet and paneling in the east room of the library. Thanks to a generous donation and a grant the library now has the money to make these needed changes.
The east room of the library has flooded many times and the carpet need to be replaced. The old plaster walls need to be covered since some of them are cracked. To have the carpet replaced all the shelves need to be removed, so it’s the perfect time to finish the paneling that was started a couple years ago.
Due to the renovations the library will be closed from Saturday, October 15th through Saturday, October 22nd. If you need to return library materials during this time please put them in the grey box inside Beachner Grain.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this will cause and hope to see everyone back the week of October 24th.
Please do not try to come into the library if you see cars there, people will be in there working.…
