Sun City Library, which has been closed for renovations since March, will re-open Aug. 13.

Michelle Stiles, branch manager of the library, made the announcement on Thursday. Following a few minor delays, the project is wrapping up with some finishing touches and awaiting installation of new furniture. Staff members are organizing new work spaces and reconfiguring book stacks.

According to the news release, the renovations were necessary because of safety concerns regarding slippery floors, sharp edges, uneven carpet and broken furniture. The project included reconfiguring of the children's area as well.

Sun City Library is the third most used library in the Riverside County Library system, which includes 36 branches.
