Jupiter Branch Closed for Expansion

Expansion of the Jupiter Branch library is proceeding on schedule, and Phase 1 is now complete. The additional space has been added around the outside of the old building; now the inside -- what was the existing branch – must be completely rebuilt. Because of danger to library users and staff, the branch must be closed during this phase, beginning February 3 and extending through the summer months.

• Residents of the Jupiter area have several options for library service while the branch is closed:

• Children are invited to attend story hours at the North County Regional library in Palm Beach Gardens

• The North County Regional Library will host the ongoing book discussion series, Family Portraits

• The Bookmobile is scheduled to be at the Jupiter Town Hall Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with a collection of over 2000 books for children and adults

• The Tequesta Branch will welcome residents who live further north.

• Reference services are available at the North County and Tequesta libraries, or through the library’s e-mail reference service, available at www.pbclibrary.org/email.htm.

Gail Peterson, Coordinator, Branch Division, promises “we will make it as convenient as possible for our Jupiter patrons to continue to receive the high level of service to which they are accustomed.”
