Construction begins in May of 2025 and will last until Summer 2026

Hocutt-Ellington Memorial Library is open in a new temporary location at 446 East Second Street while its home building undergoes reconstruction and renovation. Regular hours of operation will resume, including Saturdays. Inside the temporary location, visitors will find designated areas for children, teens, and adults. Library staff have carefully filled the space with a curated collection, and familiar services like book checkouts, placing holds, and resource sharing. Visitors can also access public technology services, including in-house Chromebooks and mobile hotspots for reliable Wi-Fi. Staff are available to assist with printing and other needs, and additional services will continue to expand in the coming weeks.
