Construction crews already finished upgrades to program space, bathrooms, the children’s library, meeting rooms, elevators and Schelessman Hall.
Ongoing projects include finishing deferred maintenance and relocating some library services, according to library officials.
Upgrades at the Central Library and 10 other branches are funded by the 2017 Elevate Denver bond, when voters approved nearly $1 billion for roads, parks, city buildings and health and cultural facilities. Denver libraries received $69.3 million from the measure.
The nearby Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library and Ross-Broadway Branch Library are still open, and the central branch will hold a grand reopening Nov. 3.
