RENOVATION NEWS
Week of DECEMBER 14 - 19
What’s going on at…CENTRAL CONSTRUCTION
It’s official. Thomco Construction took over the Central Library Monday morning. In the parking lot, porta potties and dumpsters are visible. Fencing has been delivered to set up a construction staging area in the parking lot. Inside, plastic has been hung to separate the work area on the 1st floor from the Children’s Room. This week’s work includes: 1) abate hazardous materials on the 2nd floor; 2) remove carpet on the main floor; 3) do “soft” demo – which means the circulation desk, shelving, modular workstations and cabinetry is going, going…almost gone; 4) begin installing the temporary tunnel at the entrance for public access to the Children’s room; and 5) start taking down the t-bar ceiling on the 1st floor. All major systems – water, electricity and phones are going to be impacted on/off during this project. The goal is to have “shut downs” only with advanced notice and during morning hours, before public service hours. The first scheduled shut down will be Wednesday, when all water will be turned off until 10 a.m. Please provide a heads up to staff without email.
What’s going on at…CHILDREN/JR. HIGH LIBRARY
During construction all staff are asked to keep an eye out for any possible unsafe conditions and immediately contact Rick Brown (1711), Karen Gerth (1728) or Verna Sgritta (1779). Rick, Karen and Verna will be working together to ensure effective communication between staff and Thomco during construction. With the loss of all restrooms in Central, except 2 singles in Children’s for both public and staff, one of the outside porta-potty (A) will be kept for staff only. The key for this porta potty will be on the loading dock. Please replace the key promptly.
What’s happening at…..ADULT/TEEN LIBRARY
A reminder that the open parking lot at the Adult/Teen facility is for public use only. All staff who are assigned to work at this site should be parking in the City Hall enclosed parking structure. Holds and self service….the newer self checks are being relocated to Children’s and Haskett (2 of the 3 self checks have crashed). One of the older models will be at the hold shelves… …there should be no cost to our Central patrons if they choose to go to the circulation desk rather than use the older model. Circulation and automation are looking at relocating the security gates closer to the entrance. An electric “OPEN” sign is on order to advertise public hours from the parking lot.
