The Kidder branch, located at
101 Blue Hills Parkway, shut its doors last week, as was the town’s original
plan. The branch was reopened to handle the load during main-library construction.
The Library Trustees are discussing the possibility of renting out the Kidder building, according to Library Director Phil McNulty.
The East Milton Branch Library, which has been handling extended operating hours during construction, will be closed from April 2 to 6 during the transition. It will reopen with new hours Tuesday, April 7.
