The Hilo Library had their "soft re-opening" on Tuesday March 17, 2009, and although all of the repairs are not yet complete, they are now open Tuesday through Saturday. 

The repairs to the roof and the handicapped ADA access are finished, but they are still working on the ADA bathroom, and have yet to install the new aluminum frames and windows on the front wall by the entrance (which is still covered by plywood).

The re-opening came at a good time, with the 2-week Spring Break starting next week for many students here in Hilo.
