The Fairview Branch Library, 2101 Ocean Park Blvd. reopens to the public today at noon.

Renovations to the Fairview Branch include the addition of a new reading area, additional wiring for online services, new carpeting, painting inside and out, and new landscaping.

The Montana Ave. Branch, 1704 Montana Ave., reopened to the public in mid- December following extensive renovations. Major features of the Montana Avenue Branch improvements included construction of a new community multi-purpose room, a new space for young adults and remodeled children’s area, a new service desk, added wiring for information technology, new carpeting, interior and exterior painting, restoration of the patio, and new landscaping.

Branch library hours are noon to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Killefer Flammang of Santa Monica are the architects for the branch library renovation projects that were made possible through passage of a library bond issue by Santa Monica voters in 1998.

For more information, the public can check the library’s Web site www.smpl.org, or call general library information at (310) 458-8600.
