Library Information – Friends of the Arroyo Grande Library

The Arroyo Grande Library is currently closed for major renovations.

We’re updating the library to current building codes. The library is getting new restrooms, a new children’s area, a new HVAC system, fire sprinklers, and more. This project is partially funded by a California State Library Infrastructure Grant.

We’re not sure how long the renovations will take. We’ll know more as the project progresses, and we’ll keep you updated. Thanks for your patience while we make these much-needed improvements!
