Even though the library will be closed to the public beginning Feb. 5, the book drop will remain open to return borrowed items. It will also still serve as an election venue for the upcoming primary election, according to BCLS.
Additionally, people who request books or other materials for pickup will need to select another location to retrieve those items, the release said. People can do so by logging into their library account online and selecting another library branch for the items to be sent, according to the release.
Pearland Tom Reid Library at 3522 Liberty Drive, Pearland, and the Manvel Library at 20514 Hwy. 6, Manvel, are the two closest facilities.
The move corresponds with the opening of the new county library at the northwest corner of Shadow Creek Parkway and Kirby Drive, which is expected to open by March, according to the news release.
The new library, which will be called the West Pearland Library, will boast a 100-seat theater, multipurpose community rooms, private study rooms and outdoor spaces, Pearland Assistant City Manager Trent Epperson previously told Community Impact Newspaper. It will also house the Brazoria County Tax Office, he added.
