Starting today through Aug. 18, the city's Municipal Reference Center will be closed to the public for construction work.

The city is doing sidewalk repairs which will prevent access to the building.

The public can still conduct business during the closure.

To purchase books from the bookstore, call 768-3760. For research services or to renew books that have already been checked out, call 768-3759.

Books may also be returned using the book drop chute on the side of the building.
