LIBRARY CLOSURE MAY 15TH TO 26TH

The Portage Lake District Library will be closed from Monday, May 15th to Friday, May 26th for renovations. There will be no drop boxes and all due dates will be extended.

WHY REDESIGN THE LIBRARY?

The new PLDL building has been in operation at the old Gundlach site since June 10th, 2006. For 16 years, the library has become a dynamic crossroads for the community. It is now time for an interior redesign to meet the future needs of our community by increasing private meeting spaces, replacing worn furniture, and reimagining the welcoming atmosphere of the library.
