Renovated Melrose Public Library Will Open Mid-April

By Ellen Putnam

This week, the Melrose Public Library announced that the permanent library building, which has been under construction since the fall of 2022, will be reopening on April 15th. The temporary library in the Beebe School building will close on March 22nd to allow staff to move into the new building before it opens to the public.

After the library moves out of the Beebe School, the City plans to demolish the building and build a new police station on the site. These plans are currently in the design stage, and there has been disagreement between city official and neighbors over what the building will eventually look like.
