Troke Library Temporarily Moves to Mall
By Nabeel in NEWS, Libraries Change Lives Campaign | 0 comments
Due to the repair worked needed on the Troke Branch Library’s roof, most ofthe libraries collections and computers will be temporarily moved to Weberstown Mall. Since the most successful libraries are located in areas of high foot traffic, we look forward to what this opportunity will bring. Council Member Susan Eggmen cordially remarked, “”Perhaps people who wouldn’t think about going by a library … might discover the joy of reading.”

“Troke Library headed to mall”
Trucks will ferry computers, furniture and thousands of books from north Stockton’s Margaret K. Troke Branch Library to Weberstown Mall this spring. The branch will be closed from April 26 until June 7 when it reopens for a six-month stay at the mall.
The change in location is being driven by needed roof repair work on Troke’s original building at 502 W. Benjamin Holt Drive.
Troke, the busiest branch in the Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library system, is expected to resume regular operations by November, library spokeswoman Heather Mompean said. The temporary branch will open at the mall in space previously occupied by Gateway Inc., next to Dillard’s department store.
