Fairport library closed for move
The Fairport Public Library will be moving to new digs as its current home undergoes renovations approved by voters.
On Monday the library at Fairport Village Landing closed for its move to 30 Perinton Hills Mall. The library hopes to reopen there on Jan. 2.
"We will have most of our collection there and a few computers for Intenet access," said assistant library director Tori Reilly. "The staff will be available for reference questions and help."
In May voters approved a $4.4 million renovation project for the library that includes new entrances, better lighting and new carpeting, and changes that will allow roomier space for programs.
The renovations are expected to take eight to 10 months to complete, Reilly said.
Library staff is working on how best to handle programs such as children story hours and book discussions while in the temporary space, she said.
Once in the new location, the library hours will return to normal. Library staff is asking that users return books to other branches and call other branches with questions during the period when the library is moving to the new site.
The Fairport library staff will have limited access to branch telephones during that time.
