Built in 1897, the branch was one of the last public libraries in the state without air conditioning. Troy Library Executive Director Tim Furgal says while the closures were happening during the especially hot 2025 summer, he and the library’s board looked into industrial cooling solutions. Furgal said these funding sources include money from the state’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative, a separate state library construction grant, and the federal American Rescue Plan Act. “The Troy Library, because of the need of the community, we're what they call a 9010-matching library,” Furgal said. Furgal says another state library construction grant is being used to replace the roof over the children’s room, which was impacted by the flood.
