Temporary Closure of McDonald Public Library
Library is Expected to Re-Open on Wednesday, May 7
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX—The Ben F. McDonald Library, located at 4044 Greenwood Drive in Council District 2, will be temporarily closed from Saturday, May 3, through Tuesday, May 6. It will reopen on Wednesday, May 7.
This closure is due to a damaged control board in the building’s chiller system caused by a transformer failure, which led to a power outage on Wednesday, April 30. As a result, indoor temperatures have reached nearly 90 degrees. The closure is essential to ensure patrons' and staff's safety and comfort.
For continued library services, patrons can visit the nearest branches: La Retama Central Library at 805 Comanche Street in Council District 1 and Anita & W.T. Neyland Library at 1230 Carmel Parkway in Council District 2.
