Greetings:
Anne and I have discused this issue.
I have also spoken to Kolin and gotten his approval.
Steve Hora also has given his approval.
Beginning May 14 and ending June 1 (the last 3 weeks of May). The Library will officially be open from noon until 4 pm.
Kolin's staff will be working with us daily beginning at 7 am to move desks, file cabinets, supply cabinets, etc from the 2nd floor to the third floor.
Library staff will use this time to move their personal work station items to their new location (note, not the desk, but their pictures, staplers, etc).
Renovation students will be working on moving the books from the 2nd floor to where they need to be moved.
We are giving ourselves 3 weeks of 1/2 day service so we can move things in a safe fashion and not endanger any library users. Our goal is that we can actually accomplish the majority of the work by the end of the 2nd week and open to regular hours beginning May 28th if possible.
During this time period, I will once again be working with Rotary and other clubs to see if they can come and help us.
During this time period, depending upon funding, there will be an opportunity for staff who want to earn overtime by helping to move books between floors. This is voluntary!
Anne will be sending out more details as the plans are finalized.
