It's Marlborough Library's Last Day At Walker Building With New Library Almost Done

MARLBOROUGH, MA — The Marlborough Public Library is closing in preparation for an opening.

The temporary library location at the downtown Walker Building will close at the end of the day Friday as the library prepares to open in the renovated and expanded library a block away at 35 West Main St.

The library moved to the Walker Building in April 2021 ahead of groundbreaking on the new library building. The more than $24 million renovation of the historic West Main Street building has been underway since September 2021, and is close to being done — although the official opening date has not been cemented.

Marlborough Library patrons should return all due materials to the Walker Building by 5 p.m. Friday. After that, materials can be dropped off at any library in the CW MARS network, which includes libraries in Hudson, Northborough and Southborough. Marlborough patrons can also check out materials from any CW MARS library.
