For residents eagerly frequenting the Bartram Trail Branch Library, be prepared to adjust your schedules as the beloved community cornerstone temporarily shuts its doors. According to a recent social media post by the St. Johns County, starting from February 2, the library will undergo an air conditioning replacement and renovations, an improvement process estimated to span approximately eight weeks.
The closure, poised to potentially disrupt regular patrons' routines, is projected to conclude by mid-March. Notably, during this interval, library officials have stated, "no items from the Bartram Trail Branch Library are due, and late fees will not accrue," as per the St. Johns County.
In the interim, the library has devised ways to continue serving the public. Patrons will still be able to pick up holds and return items through the front entrance, accessing the meeting room on the right. The convenience of parking in the library lot and entering the building will remain available for those seeking to utilize the limited services provided. Operating hours during the closure are set from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, extended to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, and open until 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, with Sundays remaining closed.
The county has encouraged patrons to follow the link in the comments of their post for more information on this alternative.
