The Warrenton Community Library will be closed from June 22nd to early August!
Learn about our
next chapter!
Beginning Monday, June 22nd, the Warrenton Community Library will close as the library moves to its new location right across the street!
As our library and community have continued to grow we have outgrown our leased space, so we are moving to a permanent City-owned space that will allow us to better serve our community. Our new space at 147 S. Main Ave will provide room to grow for our physical collections, private study areas for patrons to work, and a private conference room.
The library will be closed during the move to give our staff time to move our collections, renovate and set up the new space, and plan for new programming. We will be closed a minimum of 6 weeks beginning June 22nd, and are hoping to reopen August 1st. The library will continue to keep our community informed as we navigate our move.
Summer reading fun doesn’t stop with our move! On Wednesdays and Saturdays in July from noon to 2pm, visit Melissa’s table outside the library to turn in reading logs, pick up new ones, and choose your reading prize books. Reduced programming for children will continue, with Outdoor Storytime happening each Wednesday at 10:30am at Warrenton’s City Community Park. Play group following Storytime will meet at the playground next to the Community Park.
We are deeply grateful to the Urban Renewal Agency, The Urban Advisory Committee, the City of Warrenton, and our patrons and community for supporting us in this move.
Below is some information about the transition as we move into our new space at 147 S. Main Ave!
