The Sebring Branch of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County will close for three months beginning the week of December 23 to undergo a facility refresh.

While the village branch located at 195 W. Ohio Avenue will be closed beginning December 22, patrons will be able to get limited express services at a temporary location beginning January 13.

The temporary location will be inside Fire Station #2 location at 80 South 15th Street beginning January 13.

Renovations to the building will include:

  • A drop ceiling grid and tiles to improve the lighting quality.
  • LED lighting to provide brighter illumination.
  • New carpet and hard surface flooring throughout the space.
  • Updated cabinetry at the circulation desk; increased storage efficiency and functionality.
  • A new rear exit door for improved safety and accessibility.

The renovations are expected to be completed in March.

"This project is designed to create a more welcoming, functional, and modern space that better meets the needs of our community," said PLYMC Chief Operating Officer Jordan Shaver.
