The Seattle Public Library's Magnolia Branch, 2801 34th Ave. W., will close at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 24, for renovation and expansion.
During the closure, the Library will add staff to nearby branches to help meet the need for library service. Librarians also will continue community outreach to children and young adults and will make school visits in the branch's service area.
The closest branches to the Magnolia Branch are: the Ballard Branch, 5614 22nd Ave. N.W., 684-4089; Fremont, 731 N. 35th St., 684-4084; and the Central Library downtown, 1000 Fourth Ave., 386-4636.
Users may choose any other Library location as a pickup location for items placed on hold, interlibrary loan requests or purchase suggestions. Patrons may return Library materials to any branch. If Magnolia Branch patrons don't select an alternate branch, their holds will be sent to the Ballard Branch.
Saturday, March 24, is the last day to pick up an item on hold, or check out or return materials at the Magnolia Branch. The book drop, however, will stay open until 5 p.m. Friday, April 6.
This is the second time a closure date has been set for the branch. The first closure date in February was set aside after construction bids came in higher than expected.
