Saturday, January 21 will be the last day for library service at the Chase Bank Building at 6517 Hillcrest.
Peek Center Library Services:
Our temporary home at the Peek Center will offer Children's, Youth, and Teen materials as well as Adult Fiction, Biography, and DVDs. Because space is limited, the remainder of the library's collection will be stored until the library moves to its permanent home in The Plaza at Preston Center. However, all stored materials will be available upon request.
Children's Story Times:
Children's Story Times at the Peek Service Center will remain the same. Miss Kitty will be there to welcome children to the new space.
- Story Time for 4 and 5-year-olds will be on Wednesdays at 3:45 p.m.
- Toddler Story Time will be on Thursdays at 10:45 a.m.
UP Public Library's Permanent Home:
In early 2013 we will move into our wonderful new facility currently under construction in The Plaza at Preston Center. Encompassing approximately 17,500 square feet, designed to meet the needs of all patrons, the permanent library will include a 1,914 square-foot community room.
We are grateful to the City of University Park for providing both our temporary headquarters and our future, permanent home, and to our friends and benefactors Mary and Albert Huddleston, Legacy Hillcrest, for providing us with our first home. We value all our patrons, Friends, volunteers, and supporters and pledge to continue our mission of providing high quality library service to University Park.
