Fruitville Library Renovation
The wait is almost over! The renovated Fruitville Library space is reopening Thursday, October 15 at 10 a.m., with newly refreshed spaces designed to create more opportunities to learn, connect and explore.
Exterior book drop is available on the building. Processing times may be delayed as staff manually checkin materials.
Important Holds Pickup Information: If you receive a notice that your hold is ready for pickup, please allow us a little extra time. We will keep your item on hold until after the library reopens.

Hold Delivery Delays
Requested library materials, including holds from other library locations, may take longer than usual to arrive while our courier truck is being evaluated for repairs.
Library courier service is continuing, and staff are using smaller vehicles to keep materials moving between libraries. Holds are still being processed, and you will be notified when your items are ready for pickup.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We're eager to hear from our community regarding items you'd like to see on the shelves and on our ebook/downloadable audiobook collection.
Please use our Purchase Suggestion Form to request items for consideration. After submitting your request, our Collection Development librarians will let you known within a few days whether the Library can obtain the title.
Please keep those suggestions coming! We're glad to hear from you!
