HASTINGS, Fla. – The Hastings Branch Library will reopen in early September at its temporary location inside the W.E. Harris Community Center, according to a spokesperson for the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners.
The temporary branch, located on East Harris Street, will resume its regular services and hours at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
According to a release, the branch was temporarily closed on Aug. 3 after closing its location on South Main Street. Officials said the move was a necessary step in the planned construction of a new community center and library, which St. Johns County anticipates opening in fall 2025.
Officials said materials checked out from the branch before the closure on Aug. 3 will not be due until Sept. 9.
