Damascus Library closing for more than one year for renovations


The Damascus Library at 9701 Main Street in Damascus will close on Friday, January 31, 2025 for major renovations, Montgomery County Public Libraries announced. It is expected to remain closed until the fall of 2026. The renovations will include work on the senior center that shares the site with the library.

Updates planned include new flooring, paint, furniture, collaboration and study spaces, and a new customer service desk. Roof repairs will be made, and the building will be made compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act standards. An "all-gender" restroom will be constructed, and the HVAC system and windows will be upgraded.

“This renovation is a major investment in the future of Damascus,” Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich said in a statement. “By improving both the library and senior center, we are enhancing the experience for our residents and ensuring these spaces serve future generations. These updates will help us provide a vibrant, inclusive community space.”
