We are so excited about the construction that’s on-going at our main library branch. The fronts of our three Winnsboro buildings are getting beautiful updates & we can’t wait to share them with you when everything is finished. You can check back on this page for some updated pictures as the construction continues to progress.
*Remember: Even though we’re under construction, the library is still open. The inside is still fully operational. Park & come in at the back door. We’d still love to see you.
Construction Beginning in April 2023
No More Front Awnings! Look at those transom windows!

Paint is going up on the front faces of the buildings!
Window framing going up! We can’t wait for windows!
(Don’t mind the paint being messy. There was an issue with the old paint pulling away from the building below the new paint. It’ll all be beautiful, perfect paint before long!)
Windows going in upstairs & paint details going up! We can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Our beautiful, historic buildings are beginning to shine again! Look at those paint details!
We have front glass now! Even one door! We’re so excited to see one of the temporary construction walls finally coming down! Two more big temp walls to go!
We’re still waiting on some glass panels to come in but that isn’t stopping our crew! They’ve boarded up where the glass will eventually be so they can continue working on the inside! We have flooring going in & ceiling tiles getting put up!
Our new awnings are going up!!!
Our storefronts are officially finished other than small corrections! Our public patrons may now use our front door and enjoy walking past our windows for the StoryWalk®!

New Fresh Coat of White Paint in Genealogy & this room is officially DONE!!
The Front Area of our Main Library is complete!!!
Now on to the Learning Center!!!
The last week in May, our Learning Center flooded from water pipe damage in the shared wall between us and the old Shipp Hotel. The LVT flooring had to be removed along with the carpet and much of the drywall around the building. We discovered asbestos flooring tiles under the modern LVT flooring so we also had it safely removed.
Our Learning Center repairs are now completed!
Such a beautiful transformation!
Thanks for following along as we work to preserve our 100+ year old buildings for years to come! We’re so proud of the work that continues to be done throughout the years.
