Update: Elevator outages, maintenance and upgrades at Central Library

Post Published: January 16, 2026

Central Library is undergoing maintenance to repair and upgrade the elevators, restrooms, roof and HVAC systems.

Winter Update

  • Starting January 20, the only accessible elevator at Central will be the elevator located in G1 in the garage that goes from G1 to the first and second floors of the library. Patrons with mobility challenges who park in the garage should park on G1 for the duration of this project to more easily access the elevator. Check back for updates.
  • All second-floor restrooms are closed for renovation. First-floor restrooms are open.
  • The smaller surface parking lot directly off Quincy Street is partially open. All other parking lots and the garage are open.
  • Work in the Auditorium continues. Public booking is on hold until work is complete.

The entire project is anticipated to last through Spring 2026. The library will remain accessible and operational throughout the project.

Our apologies for any inconvenience or disruption as we provide regularly scheduled maintenance to our building.

Please check back for updates.
