The Storm Lake Public Library facility will be closed to public access from July 17-26, to allow for conversion of the building to LED lighting.
The project will provide brighter and more reader-friendly lighting to enhance the library patron experience, and will also be more efficient and energy-saving. The City of Storm Lake is in the process of converting lighting to LED also at city hall, fire and police stations, the airport, water and wastewater plants and the public works building, utilizing a MidAmerican Energy incentives program to substantially reduce cost.
While the library facility is closed for this period to allow for scaffolding for the project, the library staff will be available through normal hours. Patrons may call 712-732-8026 to request materials for a curbside pickup. Materials can still be returned in the dropoff box.
Programs that had been scheduled during this period will not be held. This includes Knit Once class for July 17, a Farm Bureau presentation on July 18, Spanish Story Time for July 20 and a county naturalist program for July 24.
