The closure of Rowan Public Library’s headquarters branch, located at 201 W. Fisher St., has been extended through Monday to accommodate the needs of HVAC repair work, which has required the removal of the old chiller from the first floor mechanical room and installation of its replacement, which weighs approximately 150 tons.

Headquarters is expected to re-open on Tuesday. East Branch (Rockwell) and South Rowan Regional Library (China Grove) will continue to operate on their usual schedule.

During Headquarters’ closure, RPL’s inter-branch holds system will remain active, and any HQ materials placed on hold can be picked up at either East or South. When placing the hold, customers can select the location for pick-up. Due dates for all materials due back Aug. 12-19 have been extended to Tuesday.
