The Duarte Library has completed a $350,000 renovation project.
Key upgrades include new flooring throughout the building, fresh interior and exterior paint, and upgraded ceiling lighting designed to improve both visibility and energy efficiency. Modern furniture has been added and improvements were made to the HVAC and network infrastructure.
Technology upgrades were also a highlight of the project. New catalog and self-checkout machines were installed to streamline services, allowing visitors to easily search for books and reserve meeting rooms.
A major focus of the renovation was to enhance the library’s layout, creating a more open and accessible atmosphere. The refreshed provides flexibility for a variety of uses, including reading, studying, and community programs.
The library’s reopening was celebrated in August. Beyond the celebration, the lasting milestone is the improved library itself, which reflects Duarte’s commitment to providing residents with accessible, high-quality resources. These enhancements ensure the library will continue to serve the community well into the future.
