Program Details
Ames Public Library will be getting new carpet in many high-traffic areas!
The current carpet has seen nearly 4 million visitors and, despite diligent cleaning and maintenance, needs a refresh.
The Library is Open
The Library will remain open throughout the project, but parts of the building will be closed to the public during certain phases.
Youth Services Area Closed
The Youth Services area is currently closed to the public while shelves and furniture are being moved, carpet is being removed, and new carpet is being installed. We are hoping to reopen the Youth Services area by early February.
Getting Books, Movies, etc.
There will be times when different collections will be unavailable to the public. At those times, small, curated collections will be available in the Lobby.
Library users will also be able to request and pick up holds, though processing may be slower due to shelves being inaccessible.
Storytimes & Events
Some storytimes and events will continue during the project. Find out what's happening on our online calendar!
