The flooring selected for the refurbished library meeting room is luxury vinyl tile (LVT). This flooring permits easier cleanup of spills on the floor that occurs during meetings or programs. Installation of the LVT has been completed.
The Norament rubber flooring planned for the service desk area has not yet been installed.
Work has been done redoing the front sidewalk and entry area and repaving the driveway and portions of the parking lot. There are also plans to repair the column stonework in front of the branch.

We have been receiving a large number of questions from the community concerning when the library will reopen. The current estimate is that construction will be completed by the end of October and the furniture delivered and installed in November. Staff will then return to the library to restock the shelves and set up the service desks. We hope to reopen the building in December 2017.
Please read this blog for updates on the schedule and check the
MCPL website for the announcement of the library's grand reopening date. Our staff are anxious to be back at Quince Orchard serving all of you from a renewed facility of which the community can be proud.
