In preparation for the Children’s Library Expansion Project, the Murrieta Public Library will be temporarily closed to the public from Monday, November 3, through Friday, November 7.
The closure is necessary to facilitate the safe relocation of collections, furnishings, and shelving. During this time, library staff and partners will be working to complete all necessary site preparation work.
“The decision to temporarily close was made thoughtfully and strategically,” Library Manager Melvin Racelis said. “We are undergoing a significant transformation. This closure allows us to prepare the library for construction more efficiently and quickly.”
During the temporary closure, community members will still have access to library materials through curbside pickup for holds, which will be available from Tuesday, November 4, through Friday, November 7. All other Library services will resume when the building reopens on Saturday, November 8.
