UPDATE (6/8/2022 5:00 p.m.): Due to construction on the sidewalk happening at the same time as parking lot construction, library patrons must use Door 23, located on the north side of the Lodoen Center off of 1st Avenue E. to access the library until Friday, June 17. Due to this construction, the library's outdoor book drop is also closed until further notice. To return books to the library, please bring them inside, visit a Little Red Reading Bus route stop or drop them in one of our offsite book drops (located inside Cash Wise at 755 33rd Ave. E and Eagle Run Plaza at the corner of 32nd Avenue and Sheyenne Street.) The West Fargo Public Library is fine-free, so patrons may also hold onto their materials until construction is over, if they are unable to use one of the other options to return their books.

Contractors will begin performing maintenance of the parking lot at the Lodoen Community Center, which houses the West Fargo Library, this week.
During construction, the northwest entrance to the lot will be closed. Motorists must use the southwest entrance to enter and exit the lot. Motorists are asked to please follow any posted signs and traffic cones and to be cautious around workers. Visitors may experience congestion within the parking lot. At times, the Lodoen Center Parking lot may be full or closed. There is street parking available on Third Street E and in the surrounding neighborhood as well as a lot south of Third Avenue E.
The Lodoen Community Center and adjacent buildings are home to the West Fargo Public Library as well as the Early Childhood Center, YMCA daycares, Headstart, Community High, Transition Academy and other entities. When visiting the library, please be courteous of others using the parking lot and keep an eye out for families and children, especially during times of parking lot congestion. The City of West Fargo recommends using the 'S' check when traveling in and around construction areas - check your speed, space and stress.
