The Taylorville Library was set to open this week; however the open date has been pushed back, and is now tentatively set for Monday. The Library, which has been closed since April 12th due to mold issues, has completed the mold remediation; however interior repairs on the library haven’t been complete. Gary Merker, President of the Library Board had said that they couldn’t get as many people working on the project as they would have liked, thus leading to the delay. The Library when it re-opens will remain mostly the same, although the locations of audio books, DVDs, and other similar material have been rearranged. Taylorville residents have been patient and understanding of the closure, but are growing anxious for the library to re-open. Residents with a Taylorville Library card can still use their card in other libraries in Christian and surrounding counties while the Library is closed.
