The Centerville Library is operating with limited services and reduced hours to facilitate building renovations.
At the Library
The Centerville Library renovation begins on March 3, with limited services during the first phase. The Children's Room will remain open with reduced seating, while the Community Room will offer hold pickups, some browsing collections, computer workstations, Wi-Fi, and copying/scanning. Curbside pickup will continue throughout the construction.
Our temporary hours will be: Monday-Thursday 12-8 PM, Friday 10 AM – 6 PM, Saturday 10 AM – 5 PM, and closed on Sunday. Phase one construction is slated to end in early 2026, when more services will resume.
