Still moving forward...

Have you driven by the library site lately? Perhaps you've noticed the roof being placed on the second story? Or the work on the grounds? Things are moving along very nicely, and we are still on target for a move back date of sometime next summer. Bid packages for the coffee vendor, furniture, and signage are chugging along, and next month the staff moving committee will begin to meet so that we can plan the move back home. This move should be much easier, since we will (I believe) only be moving back our material, not the furniture or computers.

While we are in this temporary space, staff is experimenting with a few ideas. We have started to create a biography section, rather than interfile the biographies with the non-fiction. We are looking at new ways to store our DVDs, and working on new databases to acquire for our patrons. We are looking at this building as a sort of testing ground, where we can try out some of the ideas we have been wanting to try. So if you are in the building, and you notice something new or unusual, just let us know what you think about it. We are always looking for ways to better serve our members.

Remember, we are also attempting to keep up our programing while in this building. Our stellar Children's Department, led by the lovely Miss Kelly, has something for everyone to enjoy. Visits from Clifford the Big Red Dog, a celebration of the Diwali festival, and you can always come by and spend some time reading to Gunner or Phoebe in our Therapy Dog Reading Program. Just stop by the Children's Desk or check out the library newsletter.
