WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — The Westhampton Free Library will be closed for renovations, beginning on Thursday.

The library will tentatively reopen on Tuesday, May 14. Patrons should check with the library regarding cancellations, rescheduling and relocation of previously scheduled programs during that time period, according to a release.

Once complete, the renovation project will result in the conversion of 2,500 square feet of unused space into usable space.

The plan, which was designed after a series of community charrettes, includes an expansion of the children’s program room and a reconfiguration of the main floor to accommodate a more efficient flow, additional book stacks and a quiet study room. The project is expected to be completed by May.

The project is being predominantly funded through private donations, including funds bequeathed to the library by Ann Skovek in her will.
