Spaces Undergoing Renovation Are Being Walled In

The construction crew began walling in spaces last week and will finish up with additional walls today. What spaces are being enclosed? There is a wall that blocks off the old computer lab, the magazine area and access to the quiet study room. Why is such a large area enclosed? There is quite a bit of demolition going on in various locations behind that wall and public access to any part of the space will really not be safe throughout the tear-down and rebuilding process. Walling off the entire section will allow the workmen to proceed as quickly as possible and finish up the work.

There's another wall surrounding the 2 group study rooms and going all along the area where the copiers, express computers and new non-fiction used to be. That area is enclosed so work can begin on the new computer lab and group study rooms.

The reason these walled-in areas seem so large is that overall upstairs and down, 5,000 square feet is being revamped for public use! This is really exciting but it means quite a bit of library space needs to be blocked off.

If you have not taken a look at the AV area recently, stop by because there is additional seating and a more spacious, light look to the room. Stop by anyway because this is a great time of year to think about reading something by your favorite author or to discover a new author.
