Long Beach\u2019s Bay Shore Neighborhood Library will temporarily close from Oct. 26 through at least early 2027 for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and restroom improvements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The library\u2019s existing restrooms will be renovated to create fully accessible, all-gender facilities. Bay Shore will also see its electrical panel relocated, as well as a modified hallway and office walls, upgraded lighting and plumbing and a new drinking fountain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the library is closed, the community will continue to have access to select library services, including:<\/p>\n

To-Go Service: Afternoon pickup service will be available for library materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weekly Story Times: Story times will continue to provide opportunities for children and families to stay connected with the library at off-site locations. For more information about locations, dates, and times, visit the Long Beach Public Library\u2019s website.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
