Coastal Region Library: Temporary Closure to Complete Renovation

The Coastal Region branch of the Citrus County Library System will be temporarily closed from Monday, August 25 through Tuesday, September 9 while the remaining interior renovation projects are completed. The branch is expected to reopen to the public on Wednesday, September 10 at 9:00 AM.

The bookdrop at the Coastal Region branch will remain open for the duration of the closure and the outdoor Wi-Fi will continue to be available. However, patrons will not able to pick-up any of their holds, and branch staff will not be accepting donations during that time. All Coastal Region patrons will have their holds temporarily paused and patrons will have the option to request that their holds be available at another branch. The other four branches of the Citrus County Library System will not be affected by the closure.

This temporary closure is the culmination of a year-long renovation project that has taken place to update the more than 35-year-old building. Patrons have witnessed some of the changes throughout the year, including updates to the lighting, new carpet throughout, interior and exterior painting, as well as the addition of two study rooms and a new meeting room. This renovation has been made possible by ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funding, and matching funds from the Library Advisory Board’s building renovation fund that is managed by the U.S. Family Foundation.

Additional details about the renovation can be found online at citruslibraries.org. To stay up-to-date on this renovation project, and learn more about the Coastal Region Renovation that occurred last year, you can follow @Citrus Libraries on Facebook or Instagram.
