For Immediate Release –<\/p>\n
Corte Madera, CA –<\/p>\n
\nThe improvement project requires a temporary closure of the branch plus adjusted hours.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The renovation project is scheduled to begin on June 10 and expected to be completed by the end of December. The branch will be closed to the public for the month of August to accommodate the most intensive phase of interior work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Marin County Free Library\u2019s\u00a0Corte Madera branch<\/a>, located at 707 Meadowsweet Drive, will receive a variety of upgrades over the next few months. The work will include improved paths of travel around the library grounds, electric vehicle chargers, a new heating and cooling system, and new bathrooms.<\/p>\n
The renovation project, managed by the\u00a0Marin County Department of Public Works<\/a>\u00a0(DPW), is scheduled to begin on June 10 and expected to be completed by the end of December. The branch will be closed to the public for the month of August to accommodate the most intensive phase of interior work.<\/p>\n
From September through the end of the project, the\u00a0Marin County Free Library<\/a>\u00a0may need to adjust the branch\u2019s hours of operation, which will be announced once the project is closer to that stage. It should be noted that the\u00a0Larkspur<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Marin City<\/a>\u00a0libraries are the closest alternative locations.<\/p>\n
The south parking lot will be used as the staging area for the contractor and therefore will remain closed to the public for the duration of the project. The east parking lot will be available for public use, with only the occasional need for partial restrictions to accommodate specific construction activities.<\/p>\n
During the month-long closure and the potential adjusted hours toward\u00a0\u00a0the end of the project, children\u2019s programs that are typically held at the Corte Madera branch may be impacted. Community outreach will be conducted when the details are solidified so that parents have enough time to adjust.<\/p>\n
The renovation project is estimated to cost $2.3 million and will be funded through the Corte Madera Library Accessibility Fund, Marin County Free Library Measure A funds, and the Climate Action Plan Fund.
