Northfield Library Roof Replacement Update

The roof replacement project at the Northfield Library is ongoing. During this time, the library remains open, but some areas may be temporarily inaccessible due to construction. When necessary, access to affected spaces will be blocked off for safety.

Parking adjacent to the building will be limited throughout the project, which is expected to continue for another week, weather permitting.

Thank you for your patience and support as we complete these important improvements!
