With a new branch library underway on Man o’ War Boulevard, the Eagle Creek Branch of the Lexington Public Library will be sold at absolute auction at 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, at the branch location of 101 N. Eagle Creek Drive.
The Lexington Public Library authorized the sale because the library system will be moving from the Eagle Creek Branch to a new branch at Palumbo Drive and Man o’War Boulevard. The library purchased property at that corner in 2014. Renovations to the interior are currently underway, and the new branch is expected to open in 2016. The new branch will offer a 25-percent increase in the number of books and other materials, multiple meeting rooms and study rooms, increased parking, and drive-through service.
Absolute auction means the Eagle Creek Branch property will be sold to the highest bidder on the day of sale, allowing the library to receive market value for the property with complete transaction transparency.
