Wheaton Regional Library
To Close for Mini-Renovation

The Wheaton Regional Library, located at 1170l Georgia Avenue, will be closed from July 30 through September 3 for a mini-renovation.

Materials checked out after July 7 will be due in September and should be returned to Wheaton after the library reopens. The book drop will be open during the period.

The renovation includes relocating the Information Desk so it will be visible for customers entering the building, adding another Help Desk, six individual study rooms and seating space for elementary age students in the Children’s Room. A Language Learning Lab will be equipped with computer modules that will help individuals learn English, and the World Language collection and the Reference and Health Information areas will be enhanced.

Customers are encouraged to use nearby branches: Aspen Hill, 4407 Aspen Hill Rd.; Kensington Park, 4201 Knowles Ave.; Silver Spring, 8901 Colesville Rd.; and White Oak, 11701 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring.
