Replacement of carpeting on the second (2nd) floor of Bellevue Library will begin on August 5, 2019. As a result, the second floor of the Bellevue Library will be closed for August 5 and 6. We apologize for the inconvenience.
During the closure:
- The second-floor computers, books, seating, and rooms will be unavailable.
- Library users will have access to the first floor (fiction, media, world languages, Makerspace, meeting/study rooms) and the third floor (children's area).
- The first floor and the third floor will be open.
- WiFi will still be available, but almost none of the library's internet computers will be available during August 5-6. If you need a library computer, we recommend other nearby libraries. Some of the larger nearby libraries are Kirkland Library or Redmond Library.
On Thursday, August 8:
- The computer area on the second floor is scheduled to reopen (please call ahead 425-450-1765 if you need access to the computers).
- The rest of the books, furniture, and rooms will probably not be available at that time.
Later in the week, more areas of the second floor may open as work is completed. Work is scheduled to finish on Sunday, August 11. Full access to the second floor is tentatively scheduled to open during the week of August 12.
