Covington Library Grand Opening

The St. Tammany Parish Library in Covington’s $2 million-plus renovation is almost complete. The grand opening is planned for February 2020.

The original grand opening date was set in January of 2020. Delays in the window installation have caused the month set back. During renovations the contractor discovered that water had been leaking into the 31-year-old building through the windows. It was decided to replace all the windows in the building with better sealed new windows which would better protect from the outdoor elements.

Along with the new windows, the branch located at 310 W. 21st Ave. will have a new roof, air conditioning, lighting, flooring, furniture, new ADA-compliant restrooms and the conversion of 3,000 square feet of administrative space to public use.

More improvements will come for many St. Tammany library as three new capital improvement expenditures were approved in the last library board meeting. The expenditures total $255,800 which include $115,000 for roof work on Mandeville and South Slidell branches and $140,800 in exterior work on the Covington branch.
