Interior adult reference area of CLP-Downtown prior to 2020 renovation

Beginning in March 2020, CLP-Downtown will be temporarily closed for construction and expansion projects.

Renovations are expected to take approximately one year, after which the branch will reopen with 68% more square footage, including large Children’s and Teen sections, each with their own programming spaces. Additional improvements include more meeting space – with large room, medium room with PC class capabilities – and four small meeting rooms for studying, co-working, partner client meetings and more.
