During construction, which is anticipated to begin Feb. 1, the Fair Oaks Library will be closed. A temporary, more limited library space will open next door on Feb. 5 in the Fair Oaks Community Center at 2600 Middlefield Road.
The renovated Fair Oaks Branch Library is expected to reopen in June.
Funding for the renovation and expansion come from County of San Mateo Measure K funding, with additional support from the city and Redwood City Library Foundation.
