Central East Library Staff and Services Relocating to Linn-Henley Research Library during Stair Construction Project

PARDON OUR PROGRESS!
The long-awaited construction of the Central Library Monumental Stairs Project is about to begin, and several of our staff members and public services are relocating from the East Building to the Linn-Henley Research Library.

Construction of the stairs replacing the escalators begins on Monday, September 16, 2019, and the East Building will be closed to the public starting Saturday, September 14, until the project is completed in early February 2020.

The BPL Friends Bookstore will remain open to the public from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays on the first floor of the East Building during construction.

Although the Central Library East Building will be closed, these departments are moving temporarily to the adjacent Linn-Henley Research Library:


  • The Circulation Desk and Fiction Department are relocating from the 1st floor of the East Building to the Government Documents Department on the 3rd floor of Linn-Henley Research Library
  • The Computer Commons area has relocated from the 3rd floor of the East Building to the former Microfilm Department on the 3rd floor of the Linn-Henley Library
  • The Arts, Literature and Sports Department has relocated from the 2nd floor of the East Building to the Government Documents Department on the 3rd floor of Linn-Henley Library
  • The Business, Science and Technology Department has relocated from the 3rd floor of the East Building to the Government Documents Department on the 3rd floor of Linn-Henley Library
