Background Information:
City of Corning and the Corning Library Commission have been working towards a renovation of 74 Third Street, Corning. This building is owned by the City of Corning but is home to the Corning Branch of the Tehama County Library. City of Corning received bids for this project and anticipates a contract going to Corning City Council for approval on November 12, 2024. Upon approval of the contract, the City plans to have work begin on Monday, December 2, 2024. All work is being paid for by City of Corning and the Corning Friends of the Library.
It is the County Librarian’s intention to move materials currently held in Corning into the Red Bluff main and Los Molinos branch libraries, so that materials will remain available to patrons during the renovation. As neither the County nor the City have space available to store furnishings, the Corning Friends of the Library have been asked to provide storage, with AB109 participants helping to move furnishings to storage.
If this request is approved, Library staff will advertise this closure in advance on our website and within all library locations to minimize inconvenience for patrons.
