Library Operations Updates

Operations Alert: Elevator is Available on G1, Central Library

Post Published: March 3, 2023

In order to address accessibility concerns at Central Library, a temporary elevator from the garage (G1) to the Library is available.

Beginning Sat., Mar. 18, signs will direct patrons who need elevator access to park on G1. The signs will also direct patrons to the surface lot, behind the building and accessed from 10th Street, for fully accessible parking and building access.

For more than a month, the regular patron elevator from the garage to the first floor of Central has been broken. Replacement parts for the elevator are no longer available and custom solutions need to be found and ordered.

Thank you for your patience as we improve access and safety of our Library buildings.
