4 Two new Metro Library locations are in the works! The new Almonte Library at SE 59th Street and May Avenue will be open by the end of the year. The current Almonte Library, located in a shopping center, opened over a decade ago to serve local patrons when the Southern Oaks Library shut down briefly for remodeling. Though intended to be temporary, the location was so popular that it has remained open all this time, and the new location (right across the street from the current one) will be twice the size and include a Makerspace. Edmond will get a second library at I-35 and 15th Street by 2025. The original Edmond location is the busiest library in the state, but because it’s landlocked and has limited parking, a new library is needed to meet the community’s needs. The new library will offer programs in conjunction with the YMCA, to be located next door, and nearby Arcadia Lake. Fun fact: MLS opened a kiosk in the Mitch Park parking lot a few years ago for west Edmond patrons. Stop by to pick up a hold, return books or check out popular titles. 5 Beyond books and family fun, our libraries offer community services and resource connections . Social workers are embedded in several locations to assist families in need of food, housing or employment, as well as to connect community members with mental health services. In partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, a monthly mobile market offers free
produce at several locations. And for patrons of any age who need help learning to read or with literacy support services, MLS locations can provide that, too. Learn more about all the programs offered at MLS locations across the metro at metrolibrary.org.
