In the next few weeks construction will be done on the walkway and ramp in front of the Weymouth library. During that time, the front door and community room door will be unavailable to use. There will be signs to direct you around the building to use the back door. People with mobility aids may find it more difficult to traverse.

The library’s open hours will remain the same. The construction is being done to improve accessibility at the library. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This post will be updated with any changes.
