Tigard Public Library operations will shift to a temporary location at Tigard City Hall beginning by early February as HVAC system construction enters a more intensive phase. 

 

After over 20 years of service, the Tigard Public Library’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is reaching the end of its life and struggling to keep up with the weather. To address this, the City of Tigard Public Works team is replacing the HVAC system with a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective system.  This project has already begun and is scheduled to be completed by May 2026.

 

A new chiller unit the size of a semi-truck will need to be installed on the Library’s roof, then will need to be connected to the duct system. This work will require the HVAC system to be shut down for approximately 12 weeks. During this time, the library building will be closed for operations. 
Tigard Public Library will continue to provide express-level services for the community during the building closure at Tigard City Hall and community partner locations.  

 

We are committed to providing library services to the Tigard community at this time and all times, and we will meet these challenges with community members as our top priority. We are grateful to our teammates on the Public Works team for managing this project and investing in an HVAC system that will make our building a more comfortable, efficient, resilient space for years to come.
