Downtown Library Parking Just Got More Convenient
Great new changes have come to the parking garage at the Downtown library.
The garage, which the library owns but contracts with Diamond Parking to manage, has a new convenient pay kiosk which only takes credit and debit cards. For the first time in 11 years, the parking rates have increased but so has the convenience to pay for your parking. Diamond Parking will monitor the garage throughout the day, and customers have the option to extend their parking time by using their phone remotely.
