CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — The Chester Library will be closing for a months-long facility maintenance project this summer.

A social media post from the library says it will close Wednesday, July 1, and is expected to reopen in spring 2027.

Crews will work to complete a new roof, a new HVAC system, interior upgrades and other updates.

Baby Story Time and Pre-K Story Time will now be held at the nearby Perkinson Center for the Arts.

Chester Library will offer a pop-up library at the Chester Farmers Market one Saturday per month starting in August, with exact dates being announced soon.

Starting Wednesday, June 24, any holds that are set for pickup at Chester Library will be sent to Central Library for pickup.

After June 24, holds can be placed for pickup at any other library location, including the Chester Library book locker, which will be available for most of the construction period. Items in the book locker are available for pick-up 24/7.
