The Valley Library in the Mendenhall Mall will close on August 31st, and Library staff will move into the new facility in September. Construction progress is coming along well and is on track to be complete in September as well. We aim to open in early October, and have tentatively set a grand opening celebration for November 7th, although still tentative at this point.
For those who purchased an engraved brick, all 840+ bricks are installed on the exterior of the building near the front entryway - you'll get to see them soon!
Recent photos of the project:
