Newport's Lord Louis Library is set to undergo essential works.
Work is scheduled to start on Monday March 20 and is expected to be fully completed in July.
The library will remain open for the majority of this time but will close for one week from Monday 20 March and potentially again for a further week at the end of the work in July. This is to allow staff to move all books and items in and out of the front half of the building.
The library will reopen on March 27, but will operate from the children’s library only, which can be accessed by the doors that open onto Church Litten.
Rob Jones, the council's library service manager, said:
"Although there may be some temporary inconvenience due to construction work, the end result will be worth it.
"Please remember, you will still be able to use all of the online services while the library is closed for a short time at the start and the end of the work.
"Although the library will remain open during the majority of the work, we look forward to welcoming you back to the main library when we fully reopen in July, and possibly sooner if the building work goes well and weather permits.
"Please make sure you follow both the library services and council's Facebook pages for the latest updates."
Councillor Jonathan Bacon, Cabinet member responsible for libraries, said:
"This investment reflects our commitment to the library service and our appreciation of its value to the local community."
Due to the reduced space, the library will not be able to house every item on public display, but customers will still be able to borrow books from both the adult and children's sections.
Some activities such as Rhymetime and the over 60s group will not be running during the work, as space will be limited.
Three public computers will be available for use, as well as printing and photocopying facilities.
In addition to visiting the library, customers can use free online services, or visit other libraries during this time.
