The Jeffersonville Library is under the following temporary hours to accommodate its construction schedule:

Mondays — Tuesdays CLOSED
Wednesdays 9:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m.
Thursdays 9:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m.
Fridays 9:00 a.m. — 5:30 p.m.
Saturdays 9:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m.

Please note that this schedule ONLY applies to the Jeffersonville location and is only for the duration of the renovation project. The Clarksville Branch location will still be open its full normal schedule.

We apologize for the temporary inconvenience, but we are very excited to lead the library into the future with our envisioned improvements. These include a new Makerspace and recording studio, a new meeting room, two study rooms, a new service desk with roaming staff, self-check technology with RFID tags, and a new family restroom on the first floor. Of course, there are countless smaller improvements we plan to make along the way. You can read about all of the planned improvements on our Renovations page.
