(Tucson, AZ) The Himmel Park Library (1035 N. Treat Ave.) will close on Monday, June 30 for a major renovation and expansion. We anticipate the renovation will take about 1.5 to 2 years. Among the exciting changes, the renovated location will include a larger meeting room, an exterior reading porch, and improved daylight with views to the park.
