After undergoing a year-and-a-half long restoration, the Carondelet Branch located at 6800 Michigan Avenue will reopen with a grand celebration on Saturday, June 16 from 2 - 4 p.m.
The festivities will kick-off with a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring welcoming remarks by dignitaries and Library officials. The Branch will be open for business immediately afterward. Visitors will see a completely restored and renewed interior, the addition of an elevator, an expanded parking lot, additional restrooms, updated computers, updated collections and a painstakingly cleaned mural.
The Carondelet Branch is the latest in the Library's series of capital improvement projects funded by a property tax approved by St. Louis voters in 1994. The plan calls for major renovations at every Library location.
Carondelet will resume regular hours on Monday, June 18.
