Custer, SD – The Custer County Library will be closed for bookshelf installation on the repaired back wall and ceiling repair starting Tuesday November 1, 2016 and if progress allows, the library will reopen Wednesday November 2, 2106 at 3:00 pm.

”  Star Academy donated oak shelving which we greatly appreciate because we did have damaged bookshelf units when the exterior wall was hit by a vehicle on Monday, August 30″, said Custer County Library Director Doris Mertz.

The roof  repair contracted to Black Hills Roofing still needs flashing applied before it is completed. There will also be cement work done on the entrance sidewalk, including a reconfiguring of the rail fence near the entrance to allow a connector sidewalk to the SDSU Cooperative Extension Service Office and the Pine Room.
