*Construction Completed on Montgomery County’s Long Branch Library; Holds
to Go and Telephone Service Begins Today*

Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) and the Department of General
Services (DGS) announce that construction is complete on the Long Branch
Library. Holds to Go!, MCPL’s contactless holds pickup service and the
library telephone service will begin on Monday, Jan. 25. The library is
located at 8800 Garland Ave. in Silver Spring. The library branch closed in
March 2020 for interior and exterior improvements under the County’s
award-winning Library Refurbishment initiative.

County Executive Marc Elrich joined by DGS Director David Dise and MCPL
Director Anita Vassallo recently did a thorough walk-through of the
building.

“Congratulations to our General Services and Public Libraries team on their
collaborative work on this library refresh project,” said County Executive
Marc Elrich. “Our libraries are community anchors and the impressive
improvements transform this into a modernized, beautiful facility for our
Long Branch residents to enjoy.”

The 21,034-square-foot facility houses approximately 58,000 print volumes
and media items. The new ergonomic sit and stand circulation and
self-checkout desks present an aesthetically warm and welcoming front area.

The refurbishment of Long Branch library included renovation of the public
restrooms, construction of a new family restroom on the 1st floor, creation
of new teen and children’s areas and a new group study room along with a
new sit / stand service desk. New paint, carpet and flooring was installed
along with all new furniture and some new shelving. New LED light fixtures
were installed, and ceiling tiles replaced.  The 2nd floor lobby was
activated with a seating group and laptop lane area.  Two new dual drinking
fountains with bottle filling station were installed and electricity was
extended to most tables and seating groups.

Outside improvement include new plaza roof with decorative railing,
recoating of mid, and high roofs, new stucco finish on the front 1st level,
new storefront entrances on both levels and a new ADA compliant book drop.
There were significant interior and exterior accessibility improvements for
people with disabilities, including an accessible path of travel to Long
Branch Library and to the Long Branch Community Recreation Center.
Accessible entrances and exits were installed throughout the building.  New
concrete block retaining walls were installed with landscaping.

The approximate cost for the Long Branch project is $4 million. CDCI, Inc.
served as the contractor for the project. Sheladia Associates was the
architect.

The County Library Capital Grant Program, Maryland State Library, as
authorized by the Maryland General Assembly and supported by the Montgomery
County Delegation partially funded the project.
