The Antioch Library will be closed beginning on Tuesday, April 30 while the roof is replaced. The project is expected to take approximately six weeks and the library is scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, June 11.
The last day to place new holds for pickup at the library was Sunday, April 21.
The book drop will be locked and holds will not be available for pickup during the closure. Library materials not picked up by the end of the day on Saturday, April 27, will remain on the hold shelf and be available for pickup when the library reopens. The hold period will be extended an extra week to June 18.
During the closure, patrons may place new holds online and pick them up at the Prewett Library in the Antioch Community Center, the Pittsburg Library, or any other Contra Costa County Library.
Funding for the project is provided by Measure X, a half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2020, and the California State Library’s Building Forward grant program.
In February 2022, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors committed $4 million in Measure X funds to address deferred maintenance costs in county-owned library facilities. The roof replacement is one of several projects underway to improve county-owned library facilities.
The HVAC system at the Antioch Library was replaced in 2023 and future projects include upgrades to the electrical and lighting systems.

6 weeks to redo a roof? Get a few guys from Home Depot and it could be done in 1 weekend.
