CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Fire Alarm System Testing

On the morning of Wednesday, January 21, construction crews at Beloit Public Library will be integrating new fire alarm equipment into the building’s system. As part of this process, technicians must confirm that all safety components are functioning properly. During this required testing, fire alarm horns and strobe lights may activate intermittently. 

We will be open and providing the usual services, but Preschool Story Time is cancelled. Testing is expected to be complete by 11:30 a.m. We understand this may be disruptive for patrons using the library during the morning hours, and we appreciate your patience.
