West library lot to be closed for repaving

The west side of the Schaumburg Township District Library parking lot will be closed from Monday, May 11, through Friday, May 15, due to repairs and repaving. Patrons may still use the north and south areas of the parking lot during this time, and the library will continue to be open during its normal hours. The East and West entrances to the library will remain open, and the sidewalks leading to those entrances will not be affected by the repaving of the lot.
