NANCY CAROL ROBERTS LIBRARY TO CLOSE AS RENOVATIONS BEGIN

  

Wendy Ragonis, the City of Brenham’s Administrative Services Manager says the Nancy Carol Roberts Library will be closed to the public beginning at 7pm, next Thursday, April 17th.  They will re-open at city hall on Monday, May 12th.   The phone number will remain the same at 337 7201.  Library materials may be returned to the existing book drop at 100 Martin Luther King Parkway.

Ragonis says the library services will be at the city hall lobby for the next 12 to 18 months, so the city and its partner, the Fortnightly Club, can modernize the existing facility.  During this relocation period, library services such as computer access, weekly children’s programming and book access all will be at city hall.

Special events such as the opening and closing of the Summer Reading program will be at Fireman’s Park Kitchen.  Genealogy services will be offered through the Brenham Heritage Museum.  With a library card in good standing, patrons may access Tex Share databases and eBooks through the city’s website.

This library renovation has been in the planning stages for years.

  1. Talking about city staff not being friendly the library staff are worse never friendly or helpful don’t even get out of their chair to try to help

  2. This is sad that the city could not have leased a temporary building for the library. No one really likes to go to city hall much less go there for the library, has anyone been to city hall lately no one there is friendly!!!

    1. I am glad that the City is saving taxpayer money by not spending it needlessly on leasing a temporary location for the library. You can bet they would have spent it, if the old Boettcher building hadn’t been so expensive to lease. Only a small share of the library’s inventory is ever checked out. Nowadays the library’s computers are what are used most often. As for the staffing, I expect at least some of the current library staff will be located at the City Hall during this period.
