The LaFayette Library will close Aug. 8 and move to the former Food Lion building on North Main Street for the next two years while its Duke Street building is renovated.
“We’re taking all the books and all the shelving,” said Lecia Eubanks, director of the Cherokee Regional Library System, which operates the branches in Dade and Walker counties.
Library staff must have everything out of their building and moved to the old grocery store by Aug. 15.
“Lots of stuff to do between now and then,” said a busy Tim York, the branch manager in LaFayette.
