The Gerber/Hart Library and Archives is hoping to re-open in October, after months of construction to the organization's new home.
Gerber/Hart has been at the Center of a Windy City Times investigation since January when news broke that the library was moving amid questions surrounding its compliance with non-profit laws. Since, the organization has elected a new president and board members to serve alongside past board members including past President Karen Sendziak.
Current Gerber/Hart Board President Brad Tucker said the library is making progress on construction. According to Tucker, drywall is in place and the organization is waiting on city inspections.
Tucker had previously stated that the library could be open as soon as August. Now, he said, he hopes the doors will be unlocked on Oct. 1.
"It's a guess," he said. "Nothing at Gerber/Hart goes fast."
The organization is planning a re-opening gala for the fall, the details of which have yet to be announced.
