At its May 22 meeting, the Chandler City Council approved a $1.15 million project agreement for a list of improvements to begin at Hamilton Library this summer, according to a news release.

This project, to be completed by Caliente Construction, will provide what the city calls necessary and impactful improvements for library patrons within the Hamilton Library, located at 3700 S. Arizona Ave., adjacent to Hamilton High School.

The additions to the library include a new multi-purpose program room, four new study rooms, an ADA-compliant welcome desk and self-checkout areas and new circulation and staff workspaces.

“Every year, thousands of people come to Hamilton to browse our unique collection and take part in our wide variety of engaging programs,” Caryn Nall, branch manager of the Hamilton Library, stated in the release. “These renovations are going to make the library even more welcoming for everyone, from families enjoying storytime to teens hanging out after school. We’re especially excited about the new study rooms, which will offer students and community members a quiet, comfortable place to work, meet, or study without disturbing others.”

Construction is expected to begin this summer, the release states. Hamilton Library will remain in operation during the construction with a modified service level. Click here to see the latest details before heading to the branch.
