LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Officials say the deadline for the closure of the Middletown Library has been extended.
Middletown Library will stay open until June 19.
The news comes after Metro Councilman Markus Winkler worked with the Mayor’s Office to extend the deadline for the library closing. This will give him time to round up volunteers to help relocate the library.
However, officials say the library will remain closed on June 3.
Patrons can still pick up items on hold and regular access to library computers and WiFi are expected to continue. Hours will vary.
In addition, programs for children are being planned for alternate sites—allowing for “pop-up” storytimes and other summer activities—until the new Northeast Regional Library opens on June 24. These include:
Crosby Park:
June 5th: Bookmobile visit & storytime, 10 a.m. – noon (storytime @ 10 a.m.)
June 12th: Storytime, 10 a.m.
June 19th: Storytime, 10 a.m.
Public Bookmobile Visits – to include materials for checkout and a summer reading program:
June 8th, 1 – 3 p.m., Northeast Regional Library parking lot/park/porch
June 10th, 6 – 8 p.m., Northeast Regional Library parking lot/park/porch
June 17th, 6 – 8 p.m., Northeast Regional Library parking lot/park/porch
