The Oakville Timberland Library will close for facility improvements starting Tuesday, March 10, with plans to reopen Thursday, April 2.
Patrons who have requested books or other library materials will be mailed their items during this closure. Returns may be deposited in the outdoor book drop. There are four other nearby Timberland facilities for people requiring more services.
• TRL kiosk and outside book drop at the Rochester Community Library, 10140 Highway 12 SW, (360) 858-7086
• Centralia Timberland Library, 110 S. Silver St., (360) 736-0183
• Elma Timberland Library, 119 N. First St., (360) 482-3737
• McCleary Timberland Library, 121 S. Fourth St., (360) 495-3368
Upon reopening, patrons will find new carpeting and windows, the latter allowing more natural light into the facility. The city of Oakville will pay $21,500 of the $40,000 bill, which includes the library improvements and other projects within the City Hall building. The Friends of the Oakville Timberland Library will contribute $18,500 toward the library remodeling.
The Oakville Timberland Library is located at 204 Main St. For more information on the library closure, contact Jeff Kleingartner, Communications Department, at (360) 704-4507.
