We’re excited to announce that the Pratt’s Hampden Branch is getting a makeover. Starting May 18, the Hampden Branch will be closed for major renovations. The 119-year old library is getting a modern day update that will also keep the historic charm of the building that we all love.
Those in the neighborhood can look forward to the addition of a meeting room in the basement. The new room will double the floor space of the branch! We’ll also be updating the restroom facilities. Notably, the Pratt will make the branch more accessible to those with disabilities by adding a ramp to the entrance of the branch. With all of these changes, we are expecting the project to take 2 years to complete.
Not to worry, you still will be able to access the library’s services. The Pratt Library will be partnering with the Hampden Family Center to provide:
• Weekly storytimes for children
• A book collection and pick-up location for holds
• Computer training & assistance
• Library programming
Don’t forget, that you can always access the Pratt’s digital resources including Overdrive,Hoopla, and RBdigital whenever you want. Ebooks, Audiobooks, Music, Movies, Magazines, and more are just a click away.
