AGAWAM — Most town buildings will reopen on July 5 after a three-day weekend.

For the Agawam Public Library, however, doors will open to the public for the first time in eight months.

The library at 750 Cooper St. was closed last September, after the results of air quality tests revealed mold in four areas throughout the building, which led to the discovery of water damage. The Cooper Street building has been closed and undergoing extensive renovations since then, and librarians operated a smaller, interim library at the Agawam Senior Center on Main Street.

In late June, most library operations were put on hold while staff worked to reshelve books and prepare the library for reopening. Collections are unavailable for browsing, and collection bins will remain closed until July 5. There will be no telephone service, but patrons needing to contact staff may do so via email or by visiting agawamlibrary.org. Holds will be available to pick up until July 1 at the Agawam Senior Center, and holds delivery to homebound patrons will be unaffected.

Renovations were performed at a cost of $1.5 million, and include a new roof, extensive work to the interior and exterior of the building, and an updated HVAC system. The project did not exceed its planned budget, town officials said.

The interior of the building has been repainted, and sections that were previously been carpeted have been replaced with vinyl flooring.

Funds from the federal CARES Act and FEMA helped the town install an HVAC automation system and new chillers. Alarms have been installed in drains on the roof to alert staff to clogged drains so water cannot accumulate unnoticed in the future.

“We are looking forward to seeing and reconnecting with all of our friends and patrons this summer,” said Library Director Nancy Siegel, in a press release.

Currently checked-out items may be returned when the library reopens on July 5. As part of the reopening, the library is encouraging the return of any overdue material by remaining fine-free throughout the summer.
