Alert: Courthouse Library temporarily closed for repairs
Due to a water pipe leak and heating issues at Courthouse Library, the location will remain closed as of Monday, February 2 until further notice as repairs are evaluated.
Please continue to check the Library's website for the Courthouse Library's status this week.
- Courthouse Library patrons can visit nearby locations at Cherrydale, Westover and Central libraries.
- All Courthouse Library programs have been canceled until further notice.
- The Teleconnect Space at Courthouse is unavailable until the location is re-opened. Please use the Columbia Pike Library Teleconnect Space in the meantime.
If your holds were already available for you at Courthouse, they have been moved to the Central Library. These holds are under your username on labeled shelves located on the ground floor near the 10th St. entrance. You can check them out starting Tuesday, February 3, and the hold pick-up time has been extended to the close of business on Sunday, February 8.
If your holds were in-transit to Courthouse or not yet available, they are now being moved to Central Library. They will be placed on the regular holds shelves at Central. You will be notified by email when those holds are ready for you.
While repairs are underway, please select one of the nearby library locations in your user account as your temporary, new pickup location for any new holds placed until Courthouse Library is operational.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to reopen this location.
Update: Elevator outages, maintenance and upgrades at Central Library
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.
