Downtown Everett library to close through November due to major repairs

Published 3:18 pm Tuesday, October 27, 2026

EVERETT — The downtown Everett library branch will close for the month of November due to major repairs to the building’s exterior and its heating and ventilation systems.

The repair work will require electricity to the building to be shut off at times, interruptions to the building’s heating and ventilation, crane operation outside the building, along with odors, dust and significant noise, according to a city library website.

“Closing temporarily will allow this work to move forward safely and reduce unexpected disruptions to library services,” the website read.

During the closures, the Evergreen Branch of the Everett library will remain open and will have extended hours on Thursdays and Saturdays, opening two hours earlier than normal.

Readers with holds can pick them up at the Evergreen Branch, the website read. Library staff will contact people with meetings planned in the main library’s meeting room to schedule other alternatives, it added.

The library branch is expected to reopen on Dec. 1.
