Deer Park Library Closes Temporarily Due to HVAC Equipment Failure

Deer Park Library Temporary Closure

Components inside Deer Park Library’s HVAC system have failed, and the system is not able to cool the building. New replacement parts to permanently fix the issue were ordered weeks ago, and the lead time is still several weeks out due to supply chain issues.

In the meantime, SCLD has explored a temporary cooling solution; however, we were informed that a temporary solution would be nearly twice the cost in addition to the replacement parts. So, a temporary cooling system is not a fiscally responsible decision, given the relatively short-term solution it would address.

We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this issue.

Deer Park Library will continue to be closed through Monday, September 1, and plans to open on Tuesday, September 2.

The library continues to be available for curbside services only from 9am to 12pm, Monday through Saturday, during the closure.

Our mobile library LINC will be visiting Deer Park on select days to offer additional services.

Updates will be sent by email to Deer Park Library customers and posted here and to our social media.

We apologize for the inconvenience of this closure.
