It was closed in mid-January after dust contaminated with asbestos was found in a work room.
The Oak Bay Branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library is set to open its doors at 10 a.m. Tuesday after being shut down in mid-January when dust contaminated with asbestos was found in an isolated area of a work room.
During the closure to get rid of the asbestos, the library underwent minor renovations that included carpet replacement, installing energy-efficient LED lighting, painting and putting in spray-foam insulation at roof level.Adjacent sites like the Oak Bay Volunteer Services Society, the Hampshire Apartments and the Monterey Recreation Centre were not affected.
“We would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding during the renovation period. We look forward to welcoming the community back to the Oak Bay Branch.” “Libraries are the hub of any community, providing access to information, educational resources, and a safe and welcoming space for all,” said Oak Bay Coun. Andrew Appleton, who is also the GVPL chair. “The district and GVPL worked hard to minimize the disruption caused by the closure.”
