New energy saving lights are being installed in the Scarborough Public Library through the month of July. While most of the work will take place when the library is closed, there will be some activity during regular library hours.

“We are working closely with the contractor to schedule work to minimize the impact on services to our users,” said library Director Nancy Crowell. “Some areas of the Library may be temporarily inaccessible, and we do apologize for any inconvenience this might create. Overall, we hope our library users will not experience any interruption in services.”

In addition to cost and energy saving features, the new lighting will also significantly improve visibility of materials in the book stacks and public areas of the library. Features in meeting room spaces will also include automatic shut-off options when rooms are not in use.

The Scarborough Public Library is open Monday and Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10 a.m.-8 p.m. The library is closed on weekends beginning in July through Labor Day.
