Downtown Library Closure Saturday, December 5-11
First Floor to Reopen on Saturday, Dec. 12
BOISE— The Downtown Library will be closed beginning Saturday, Dec. 5, through Friday, Dec. 11. The Library board of trustees approved the closure at its Oct. 14 board meeting in order to prepare to reopen the first floor. The Downtown Library will reopen to the public on all three floors on Saturday, Dec. 12, at 10 a.m. The four other Boise Public Library branch locations will also have a late start at noon on Friday, Dec. 11.
During the closure period:
- Materials can be returned to the Downtown Library using the curbside return bins or the walk-up return slots
- Existing holds can be picked up at the Downtown Library using the curbside service
- New holds will not be accepted at the Downtown Library location. Library users can either request holds to be picked up from one of the other four Boise Public Library locations or wait until the Downtown Library reopens on Saturday, Dec. 12
The first floor has been under construction since September 2025 to make needed maintenance updates and to improve accessibility for Library users.
