Above / Renovations are ongoing through October.
The entire lower level of Nichols Library will be closed Thursday for renovations, including shelving installation, and the main staircase and the public elevator also will be closed off.
“It will reopen on Friday morning,” said Olya Tymciurak, Nichols Library manager. “We will have a small selection of children’s materials on the upper level for check out.”
Renovations, which began mid-April and are scheduled through October, include an updated, fresh look with new furniture, flooring, carpeting, additional meeting room space, storyroom renovations and remodeling of the staircase. Renovations also will include replacing the library’s sliding doors, the skylight, the outdoor sign and lobby flooring.
“I think one of the most striking things will be how open the facility will be and that the view out to the Riverwalk will be restored,” Executive Director Julie Rothenfluh said. “Other exciting features will be the updated Community Room, the new program space (formerly the computer lab), the renovated staircase and lobby spaces and the Tech Bar by the relocated computer lab which will feature many of the tools currently available at the Idea Lab at 95th Street Library.”
