New Canaan Library Parking Lot To Close For Summer

NEW CANAAN, CT — The New Canaan Library parking lot will be closed for over a month starting in July as construction continues on the building.

According to the library's website, the temporary closure will begin Monday and last until the end of August as the lot is excavated for installation of new drainage and water pipes. During this time, the vehicle entrance from South Avenue will be blocked.

Beginning July 20, the newly widened exit from Cherry Street will become a two-way driveway, available for parking for those with limited mobility only. The drive-through book drop will not be available at all during this time.

Free library parking will also be available in the Center School Lot across Maple Street. Pedestrian entrances from Main Street will remain open, and pedestrian access from Cherry Street will also be available.

During this period, late fines will be suspended and all long-overdue and even billed items can be returned with no penalty, according to the library.

The library also encourages anyone with difficulty accessing the building to arrange for curbside pickup of their materials by calling 203-594-5058.
