Holladay Library closed

Published: Friday, July 14 2006 12:00 a.m. MDT

The Holladay Library, 2150 E., Murray-Holladay Road, is closed for renovation.

The Holladay Library opened nearly 35 years ago. Among the innovations featured at the new library were microfilmed periodicals, an extensive paperback collection and an audio circulation system.

However, the facility, built in 1972, is no longer adequate to meet the needs of the community. In an effort to maintain its presence, upgrades including the removal of asbestos, new paint, carpet, boiler, lighting and workstations; upgraded fixtures and service stations; and high-tech radio frequency identification self-check out will be made over the summer.

While the library is closed, patrons are encouraged to use other branches, including the East Millcreek Library at 2266 Evergreen Ave. or the Whitmore Library at 2197 E. Fort Union Blvd.
