加州洛杉矶县 Long Beach 市：Bay Shore 社区图书馆 10 月 26 日起临时关闭、卫生间无障碍改造预计 2027 年初完工
加州洛杉矶县 Long Beach 市的 Bay Shore 社区图书馆（195 Bay Shore Avenue）已于 10 月 26 日起临时关闭——市府表示，这座现址建筑 1959 年启用的图书馆将进行卫生间无障碍改造施工，闭馆预计持续至 2027 年初。
据 Long Beach 市公共工程局的项目说明，改造将把现有卫生间改建为完全无障碍的全性别卫生间，同时迁移配电盘、调整走廊与办公室隔墙、升级照明与管道设施、更换室内饰面，并新装一台饮水机。该项目是市府 Elevate '28 基础设施投资计划的一部分，项目时间表显示施工 2026 年 9 月开始、2026 年 12 月完工。项目资金来自选民 2016 年通过、2020 年延长为长期征收的 Measure A 销售税。
市府表示，闭馆期间工作人员仍会在图书馆正门处协助读者取书与还书，并提供下午时段的取书服务；每周故事会将改在馆外地点继续举行。读者也可前往附近三家分馆：Alamitos 社区图书馆（1836 E. Third St.）、Brewitt 社区图书馆（4036 E. Anaheim St.）与 Los Altos 社区图书馆（5614 E. Britton Dr.），三馆均周二至周六开放。详情可查阅 Long Beach 公共图书馆网站 lbpl.org 或致电 562-570-7500。
Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California: Bay Shore Neighborhood Library Closes From October 26 for Restroom Renovation Until Early 2027
The Bay Shore Neighborhood Library (195 Bay Shore Avenue) in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California, closed temporarily starting October 26, the city said. The library building, which opened at its current site in 1959, will undergo restroom renovation work to improve accessibility, and the closure is expected to last until early 2027.
According to the City of Long Beach Public Works project page, the renovation will convert the existing restrooms into fully accessible, all-gender facilities, relocate the electrical panel, modify hallway and office walls, upgrade lighting and plumbing fixtures, replace interior finishes, and install a new drinking fountain. The project is part of the city's Elevate '28 Infrastructure Investment Plan, with construction running from September 2026 to December 2026. It is funded by Measure A, the sales tax approved by Long Beach voters in 2016 and extended indefinitely in 2020.
While the branch is closed, staff will remain available at the front entrance to assist with book pickup and drop-off, and afternoon to-go pickup service will continue, the city said. Weekly story times will be held at off-site locations. Residents can also visit three nearby branches, all open Tuesday through Saturday: Alamitos Neighborhood Library (1836 E. Third St.), Brewitt Neighborhood Library (4036 E. Anaheim St.), and Los Altos Neighborhood Library (5614 E. Britton Dr.). More information is available at lbpl.org or by calling 562-570-7500.
