Kyle Public Library will be temporarily closed Jan. 2-17 while officials work to give it a new look.

In a nutshell

The renovations will be isolated to inside the library, with work including new paint, carpeting and more. In a news release, officials said the decision for renovations was made "to keep our space welcoming, comfortable and ready for the community’s next chapter."

"These improvements will bring ... an overall refreshed look to the building our community has grown to love since it opened in 2012," officials noted.
Something to note

While the library is closed, the Kyle Mobile Library will set up in the building’s back parking lot on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.


Officials said visitors can browse a rotating selection of checkout materials and still get help with library card services.

What else?

During the closure, library staff will receive training in first aid, emergency response protocols, active-shooter response, bomb-threat procedures and more.
