Cole Library, located in downtown Carlsbad on Carlsbad Village Drive, will be temporarily closing its doors to replace heating and air system among other needed renovations.
For six weeks, beginning January 3, the library will undergo its upgrade, a task estimated to cost in the $1 million range. However, some materials will still be available in a trailer in the parking lot.
"There will be some times during the construction when we are able to go into the building to get materials and books and sometimes when we are not," says Deputy Library Director Suzanne Smithson.
This is not the first time the library has been placed under hibernation. In September 1999 until around spring of the following year, the library closed while undergoing $2 million in renovations and reopening as a branch library as opposed to the main library it had previously been. The new main library is now located on Dove Lane in Carlsbad.
Cole Library is still attempting to conduct business as usual with hours during the upgrade process being 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
