PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Library’s children’s area will be closed today through Saturday, Aug. 29 during a $40,000 renovation.
The renovation will add an interactive learning space designed to teach the Every Child Ready to Read program’s “Pre-literacy Skills and Practices,” with interactive play part of the program.
The 18-year-old children’s section at the library at 2210 South Peabody St., also will get new carpet, fresh paint and upgraded electrical connections and technology.
The layout of the collection and furnishings will be reconfigured to better meet modern services and patron needs, said Noah Glaude, Port Angeles Library manager.
During the closure of the children’s area, a small collection of children’s items for browsing and checkout will be available elsewhere in the library, he said.
Patrons also can continue to place holds on and check out children’s material from other branches.
The rest of the library will remain open and operate its usual hours during the renovation project.
The renovation is being funded by the North Olympic Library System as a planned project of the library’s 2015 capital improvement budget.
The custom interactive furnishings have been made possible by a $20,000 donation from the Port Angeles Friends of the Library.
