The Hastings Branch Library, currently located at 6195 S. Main St., Hastings, will close at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3, for approximately one month to relocate to a temporary location. The library will reopen at the W.E. Harris Community Center, located at 400 E. Harris St., Hastings, on Tuesday, Sept. 3. This move is a necessary step in the planned construction of a new community center and library, which St. Johns County anticipates opening in Fall 2025.
The last day patrons can place holds on items for pick up at this branch is Monday, July 22. During the closure, no items will be due, all holds will be extended, and impacted patrons will not accrue late fees. The book drop will also be inaccessible, and donations will not be accepted at either location.
In addition, Aug. 3 is the last day residents may pay utility bills at the Hastings Branch Library. This service will not return once the library reopens at the new location. Utility bills can be paid online, over the phone by calling 1-844-752-8845, or by mail. To learn more about how to pay utility bills, please visit www.sjcfl.us/departments/utility-department or contact the Utility Department at 904-827-2700.

Patrons may also take advantage of various online resources, including e-books, databases, and digital newspaper access on the SJCPLS website at www.sjcpls.org.
