The Fairview Branch Library, located at 2101 Ocean Park Blvd., closes for renovations on Monday, June 17\. The branch is expected to reopen in mid-November. Major features of the Fairview Branch enhancements include the addition of a small adult reading room, additional wiring for online services, new carpeting, painting inside and out, and landscape improvements.

The Montana Avenue Branch also is closed for major renovations and will reopen in September. The library construction Web site www.smpl.org/construction has updates on these and other library improvements made possible in part through passage of a 1998 bond issue.
