Sherwood’s library to close

Sherwood’s Amy Sanders Library, at 31 Shelby Drive, will close beginning Jan. 22 to prepare to move into its new location.

The current library, a branch of the Central Arkansas Library System, will maintain regular business hours through Saturday.

The library is closed Sundays.

The new library’s opening on a 14-acre site at 10200 Johnson Drive is expected to be in early March.

The 14,5000-squarefoot library will include three study rooms, a teen area, gallery space and a 985-square-foot public meeting room.

Sherwood voters approved a 1.3-mill personal and property tax increase in November 2014 to issue bonds to fund a new library. Groundbreaking occurred last January.

The Central Arkansas Library System includes 14 branch libraries in Little Rock, Perryville and throughout Pulaski County.
