Beginning in January 2019, the 109-year-old West Branch Library will undergo renovations to expand and enhance programming and resources, community space, and operations, following a lengthy community process which culminated earlier this year.

The West Branch Library will close to the general public in mid-November to provide time for staff to prepare for the renovation. During the temporary closure, a small, temporary branch library location will be available at the Tufts Administration Building, 167 Holland St., 2nd floor, with potential additional locations to be determined at a later date.
