In September and October, the parking lot in Langdon park is being paved by Rocky View County. This request has topped the community wish list for years and it is very exciting to finally see this work taking place. For our library, it will improve our accessibility greatly and will make it much easier to residents of all abilities to make use of our facility.
This does,however, pose issues with our operations during this time. The parking lot will be completely closed to ALL traffic except the paving crews. For this reason, and as a courtesy to the residents on nearby streets, we have made the decision to temporarily close for the duration of the construction.
CLOSURE DATES
September 20 - October 6 inclusive
We understand that some of you may find this news distressing as you have come to rely on our library being available. We have done our best to answer some of your questions in advance, below.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I pick up my holds during the closure?
Because our delivery drivers will not be able to access the building while the paving is in progress, all of our incoming holds will be re-routed to Chestermere Public Library. You will be able to pick them up there (you can even browse their large collection while you're there). They will be automatically sent to Chestermere, but via the TRACpac app you can select where to send your holds if you prefer a different location.
If you have never been to this location, it is really easy to find. Chestermere Public Library is on the lower level of Chestermere City Hall at 105B Marina Rd, Chestermere. We've included a map below:
Can I still access e-resources?
Absolutely! Much like before our location opened, the digital services offered at the library are still going to be available to you. Feel free to explore any of our e-resources. (Note: any in-library use only resources like Ancestry or Grant Connect, will need to wait until we are open again)
What about Storytime?
We will not have any in library programs happening during the closure, including Storybook Mondays. We are excited to bring it back in October when we re-open, as we know it is a special part of our library week!
Can I check out a hobby kit to use during the closure?
If you check one out prior to the closure - you will be able to use it while we are closed.
Will the outdoor book drop be open for returning items?
No - During the closure, the book drop will also be closed. We ask that you please hang on to any library items you have and return them once we re-open. Alternatively, you can drop them off at Chestermere or Strathmore library, as we are all part of the Marigold Library System.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE LIBRARY MATERIALS ON THE QRC DECK.
