Grafton Public Library Reopens today

After more than a month of having to leave town to visit the library, Grafton residents will be able to spend less time in the car and more time in the stacks starting today.

According to the Grafton Public Library website , the library will open for business today at 10 a.m., although there will still be construction in the building through the end of the week.

"Safety is the highest priority and we thank the public in advance for adhering to all barriers, signage, and staff instructions for the duration of the project," the website says. "A grand reopening will take place once the project is completed, and the library is fully accessible to all members of the community."

The wheelchair lift is likely to be the last portion of the expansion to come online; it could take up to a month before the final safety inspection.

Materials rented out before the library closed have a due date of June 11, but there will be no penalties assessed until July. 1.
