Garden City Library To Close This Week For Construction Work

GARDEN CITY, NY — The Garden City Library will be temporarily closed this week as demolition begins on the circulation desk and lobby carpeting.

The library will close at noon on Thursday and remain closed all day Friday. It may also be closed Saturday, if needed.

Staff will be on site for information and assistance by phone Thursday and Saturday between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. During this period, the book drop will remain open, reserves will be held until Jan. 17, and fines will not accrue.

During construction of the new desk, Circulation services — including checking out books, obtaining a library card, or getting a computer pass — have been moved to the Adult Services Desk to enable crews to prepare the main lobby for work. This period of construction will take approximately a month; Children's Room work will progress simultaneously.

Overdue fines for library materials and museum passes will be waived during the construction of the new Circulation Desk. Other charges remain in effect, including lost books and computer printing.
