Main Library Branch Is Closed
December 18, 2012
The Main Branch of the West Florida Librar has closed until early next year as crews wrap up the second phase of a library expansion.
The Main Library, located at 200 West Gregory Street, will be closed through January 7.
The library’s new 51,000 square foot Main Library will feature a wave themed area for children and teens, access to more public computers, community meeting rooms, increased parking, a Friends of the Library bookstore, and a coffee shop.
The project is funded through $6 million in local option sales tax, a $606,500 U.S. Department of Energy grant, and $1 million left over from the construction of WFPL’s Tryon Branch Library on Langley Avenue which came in under budget. The Friends of the Pensacola Public Library contributed $100,000.
