There are two construction projects currently underway at the library. We have provided some details and information related to each below:
Building Envelope Repair
When will the construction occur?
- November 15 – January 2022
What is being done?
- Work will be done to repair a leak into the lower level of the library and apply waterproofing to that same area.
How will this affect me?
- Fencing and construction equipment will be set up in the area around the library parking lot as well as along the Ash Street Plaza. The pathway itself will remain open.
- Landscaping has been temporarily removed from the area concerned and will be replaced once the project is complete.
- Construction crews will be digging and at times drilling so there may be noise during their working hours of 7:30am – 4:30pm (though start times may vary according to weather).
- As waterproofing is applied to the exterior area, there may be some smell from the material that is being used.
DVD Shelving Installation
When will the construction occur?
- November 15 – 21
What is being done?
- The shelves that house our DVD collection are being installed throughout our multi-media collection. They will prevent units from dropping behind the shelving, and reduce the amount of missing or lost items as a result.
How will this affect me?
- DVD’s have been temporarily relocated, and there may be some disruption to accessing these and some CD’s during the week of November 15 – 21.
- There may be noise in the library while the shelving is being assembled.
