Books on the Move

If you've been to the library within the past two weeks, you may have noticed that some things seem a bit...out of place.

Since the contractor was chosen, library staff and volunteers have been hard at work moving books away from the east wall in preparation for the beginning of construction.  Groundbreaking is set for August 17 (date may change), and the first thing to go will be that wall.  All the shelves against the wall need to be cleared for that to happen, which means that all children's materials, including young adult, juvenile, easy readers, and picture books, had to be consolidated and moved westward.  Staff utilized empty space nearer the middle of the building and crammed those shelves full of books.

The result?  An entire wall of empty shelves.  The difference is striking!  Remember to check the renovation blog and the library website frequently for notices about construction, including any closings.
