Hello All,
I'm sure some of you may know about the upcoming re-carpeting to the upstairs area of the library. This project will include the Alabama Room, Community Room, and Fiction section....
Preparations for this project have already begun and because of the large coverage area, the project is going to be happening in different stages.
Western novels and Graphic Novels have already been moved downstairs by the 6th Ave. entrance. Inspirational is next up.
The Magazine Room, or the glass room by the newspapers, will be where we display many of the Fiction section during this time.
First up is the Alabama Room. The Alabama Room is currently closed to patrons to allow library staff to start boxing up and moving materials. We anticipate the carpet to be taken up and laid back down in the middle of April. No word yet on when the Alabama Room will re-open to patrons.
The Community Room will be closed from April 17 until the completion of the project to allow us to store things from The Alabama Room and Fiction section.
The Fiction Section will most likely be when we have to close the library due to the taking up of the carpet.
This brings up an interesting question. What happens when you have a book out and is due back when we're closed? To ensure this doesn't happen, we have altered the due dates to checked-out items. Please check the due date on an item you check out and if you're unsure of the due date, please get in touch with the Circulation Department. Because of this, we will NOT be receiving books from Eva.
Please keep in mind that most of the re-arranging will only be temporary and will be moved back.
We anticipate the project to be done by the beginning of June.
We appreciate everyones cooperation while we tackle this big project.
Stay tuned here, on the website, and on our facebook for updates.
