HVAC Repairs at Thayer Public Library

Thayer Public Library temporarily closed from Tuesday, July 8 through Wednesday, July 9, for scheduled HVAC repairs

In conjunction with the Town of Braintree Facilities Department, Ambient Temperature Corporation will be conducting work to repair Thayer Public Library’s HVAC system. Due to the large crane and heavy construction work required, Thayer Public Library will be temporarily closed to staff and public from Tuesday, July 8 through Wednesday, July 9.

Closure dates are weather-dependent, and subject to change. All changes and updates will be announced on the library’s phone greeting and on the library’s website. Please call the library at 781-848-0405 or visit thayerpubliclibrary.org to check that the building is open before visiting.

Apart from the July 8-9 closure and Fourth of July holiday hours, the library will remain open to the public during the project as much as possible. However, as the work is getting done, air conditioning may be spotty, resulting in possible unexpected closures.

The library’s Upper Level will be closed off to staff and patrons from Monday, June 30 through Monday, July 7. This includes the Children’s Room, Logan Auditorium, and conference rooms. Limited children’s services will be available on the Main Level during this time. Children’s holds can be picked up on the Main Level.

The library parking lot will be closed off when the work is being done on Tuesday, July 8. The outdoor book drop will not be accessible. Due dates will be adjusted accordingly; items returned to Thayer Public Library that week will not incur overdue fines. For safety reasons, please do not attempt to return books while the parking lot is closed off.
