Construction in Progress
There’s a lot of construction activity going on at the Library, so our summer programs look a little different this year. The City of Happy Valley is constructing a 10,000+ square-foot expansion to the existing Library building. Improvements will enable the City to provide a 300-person community room, kitchen, and quiet study rooms, creating a welcoming place for all to use, gather, and celebrate our unique and shared cultural experiences.
The library will continue to remain open throughout the construction process, though some interruptions and/or temporary closures or reduced hours may be necessary from time to time. Completion of the library expansion project is anticipated in Fall 2024. You can also learn more about the expansion project online at www.happyvalleyor.gov/library-expansion.
