Library Closing Update

The Millicent Library is undergoing a replacement of the building’s heating system. The previous system, installed in 1991, was beyond its useful life and exhibited significant deterioration. Due to expensive annual repair costs, the Millicent Library Board of Trustees voted to allocate $200,000 to replace the aging system.

Due to expensive annual repair costs, the Millicent Library Board of Trustees voted to allocate $200,000 to replace the aging system.

Unfortunately, unanticipated delays have prevented the new heating system from becoming operational as scheduled. The arrival of colder weather has brought indoor daytime temperatures to 57° F and 64° F, making it necessary to close the building until adequate heating can be restored.

Additional crew members have been brought in to expedite the installation, with the goal of having the new heating system fully operational later this week.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by these closures and appreciate your patience and understanding.

We will announce a reopening date as soon as we can confirm that the building can be safely and comfortably occupied.

Thank you for your continued support of the Millicent Library.
