The main area at the Oak Ridge Public Library will reopen Monday, May 4, with new lighting fixtures and will resume regular service hours. All services will be available at the main desk and reference desk, a press release said.
The Children’s Room will close on Monday, May 4, for the lighting renovation. Story times for Monday, May 4, and Tuesday, May 5, will be held in the Social Room at the Civic Center at 10:30 a.m. Limited Children’s Room services will be available in the library auditorium.
This renovation project is partially funded by the Clean Tennessee Energy Grant that was awarded to the City of Oak Ridge by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Energy-efficient LED lights are replacing the four-decade-old original lights throughout the whole Library and will be brighter, easier to maintain, and less costly to operate.
The Main Library will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday (closed Sundays from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend).
Library cards are free for Oak Ridge residents of all ages and provide free access to education and entertainment.
