Tigard Public Library Operations Shift In Early February For Construction - 12/18/25
Tigard Public Library operations will shift temporarily to Tigard City Hall early February to receive needed updates to the building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
During this intensive phase of construction, the library building will be closed to allow large equipment, such as a new chiller unit, to be installed on the library’s roof. Workers will then integrate the new unit into the building’s duct system.
“We are grateful to the City of Tigard for investing in this new HVAC system and Public Works team for managing this project that will make our building a more comfortable, efficient, resilient space for years to come” said Halsted Bernard, Director of Library Services at Tigard Public Library.
Construction is planned to be completed by May 2026. Services will return to the library building once this phase is complete.
Accessing Library Services During Construction
Tigard Public Library will provide express library service on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at Tigard City Hall, 13125 SW Hall Blvd, throughout the construction period.
Express services include books for checkout, programs such as storytimes, assistance from staff for finding books, library accounts or other information, access to Wi-Fi and computers, and technology help. Library teammates will also provide services at partner events and spaces.
Community members continue to have access to library services at any of the 15 Washington County Cooperative Library Service (WCCLS) member locations and online at wccls.org.
“We are committed to providing library services to the Tigard community, and we will meet these challenges with community members as our top priority,” added Director Bernard.
