The Rossville Library will move to a temporary location while the current location is renovated.The Rossville Public Library is preparing for a $400,000 renovation to equip it with state-of-the-art technology, new carpet, new heating/air and LED lighting.
“They’re going to gut the entire building starting from scratch,” said Rossville Mayor Teddy Harris.
The library has been outfitted in the same mauve-and-burgundy interior since it was built in 1987, said Library Manager Carmella Clark. But by the end of this year, its 25,000 annual visitors will see a transformation.
Preparation for change begins Sept. 9. The library, located at 504 McFarland Ave. in Rossville, will close from Sept. 9.-Sept. 19 while workers transport books and resources about 1.7 miles to the Rossville Athletic Center.
The library will opes at its temporary location in the athletic center at 301 Williams St. on Sept. 20.
