Interim library to open on Hamilton Street Monday

Madison Public Library's Central Library will reopen 9 a.m. Monday at its interim location on S. Hamilton Street.

The interim library will offer a smaller collection of popular DVDs, CDs and books on CD. The majority of the library's collection moved to a storage building on Madison's east side but is still available to the public through online reservation.

The Central Library will stay at 126 S. Hamilton St. until the new Central Library on W. Mifflin Street is completed in the summer of 2013.

Construction for the new Central Library is expected to begin in February 2012.

The new library's public space will increase by 22 percent and the total floor space will expand from 95,000 to 118,500 square feet, according to the Madison Public Library website.

There will be three times as many computers in the new library in addition to many study tables for laptop use.
