Dobson Ranch Library, 2425 S. Dobson Road in Mesa, is getting a major renovation beginning in February.
The library will close temporarily to the public Wednesday, Feb. 9, for approximately 30 days due to demolition of certain building areas, according to a release.
The construction project expands the library’s footprint by 1,600 square feet and adds a THINKspot makerspace for community innovation and networking. The library’s façade will be updated, adding greater visibility to the building and more convenience for library users.
It is the most significant renovation at Dobson Ranch Library since it opened in 1987, the release states.
Funding is from the parks and culture bonds issue approved by Mesa voters in 2018.
