Construction projects will close two area branches for periods this month including Harvard Ave’s Capitol Hill Library. The Seattle Public Library says it will add service hours at other nearby branches to try to help but the closures will be significant for regular patrons.

The Capitol Hill Branch will be closed Tuesday, September 19th through Monday the 25th while an electric HVAC system is installed on the branch roof. “The new HVAC system will be more reliable and efficient while reducing the Library’s carbon footprint,” SPL says.

Meanwhile, in the Central District, the Douglass-Truth Library will be closed Monday, September 25th through Friday the 29th “while major excavation and repairs are underway to fix a broken sewer pipe.”

SPL says the Madrona-Sally Goldmark and Montlake branches will be open on Monday, Sept. 25, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. :to ensure patrons in the region have access to Library services on that day.” The branches are normally closed on Mondays.

Book returns at the Capitol Hill and Douglass-Truth branches will be closed during construction. You can find more information at spl.org/Today.
