Aspen Hill Library will stay open as their facility receives a two-month roof replacement which began Monday. Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) and the County’s Department of General Services (DGS), said the project will not interrupt services at the library according to a government press release.
Last winter, after several roof leaks were discovered in the facility, DGS determined the roof needed replacement.
“We anticipate the project taking eight weeks to complete,” said DGS Director David Dise. “However, over the course of the work, hidden conditions may be discovered which may require remedial attention prior to proceeding. We will keep the Aspen Hill community updated on the progress.”
The new roof’s simplified lines will be energy efficient according to the release. MCPL Director Anita Vassallo believes library patrons will benefit from the long-term impacts of the replacement.
Aspen Hill Library is located at 4407 Aspen Hill Rd, Rockville MD, 20853. For more information, the library can be reached at 240-773-9410.
