For those not already aware, the Henry Ford Centennial Library (HFCL) has been closed to the public since May 20, 2019, and will remain closed until Fall 2019 for a major renovation project.
To serve our residents during the closure, we have extended the open hours at both the Bryant Branch Library and the Esper Branch Library to
Monday-Thursday 9:30 am to 8:30 pm and Friday and Saturday 9:30 am to 5:30 pm.
The planned renovations are extensive, and HFCL cannot remain open during this time. As with major renovation projects, all dates are subject to change.
The project includes:
·
Installation of a new energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC)
·
Replacement of existing lights with energy-efficient lighting
·
Renovation of the second-floor restrooms
·
Reorganization the second-floor layout of the book stacks
·
Additional electrical outlets
·
Replacing the wallpaper
·
Creation of a first-floor snack lounge with vending machines.
Also, the previously unused east-side of the mezzanine will be updated to include:
·
An additional conference room
·
Several additional group study rooms
·
A makerspace
·
A computer lab
·
A digitization lab
·
More single-person study booths.
Funds to support the HVAC renovation and replacement of existing lighting were made available through a bond sale. Library Capital Improvement project money will support all additional
improvements.
