Alpaugh & Tipton libraries close for construction projects

March 23, 2011

Tulare County’s Alpaugh Branch Library will be closed from Mar. 25 – Apr. 1 due to a new roof construction project.

This marks the second new roof construction project in the past month. The Tipton Branch Library is currently closed through Mar. 25 for new roof construction.

“The two roofing projects will provide for a safer experience for patrons of our Alpaugh and Tipton branches,” said Jeff Scott, Tulare County Deputy Librarian.  “The new roofing is needed at these facilities and will continue to upgrade the buildings in our library system.”

The re-roofing projects were budgeted in the 2010/2011 Tulare County budget as part of a countywide initiative to upgrade facilities.  The two projects are being managed by the Tulare County Capital Projects department.
