Groundbreaking Slated for BCPL Pikesville Library and Senior Center Expansion
(January 5, 2007)

BCPL has announced that work is officially beginning on the $4.18 million renovation and expansion of the Pikesville Library and Senior Center with a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday, October 4, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. at 1301 Reisterstown Road. Participants expected to attend include Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith, Second District Councilman Kevin Kamenetz, BCPL Director Jim Fish, and representatives of the Baltimore County Department of Aging, and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation Inc.

The library plans to remain open throughout the construction period of about eight months and make adjustments as needed. While some necessary preliminary alterations take place, on Thursday, October 5, 2006 the branch will delay opening until 2 p.m. and the lobby will be closed to the public. Access is being provided from the rear entrance.

Once construction has been completed, the library's total space will have increased from 18,000 square feet to 21,500 square feet. Other enhancements are to include a new children's activity center and story time room, a new magazine/newspaper reading area, an enlarged area for browsing new books, a large lounge with assistive reading devices, a young adult lounge, improved checkout and information desks, new carpeting, and other interior improvements.
