I have mentioned in prior communications that we would soon be replacing our fire alarm system. That work will begin on July 29 and will take several months to complete. The first phase of the work will occur after the Library closes each evening, so will have no impact on member or visitor access to the Library.  However, in future phases of the project, certain areas of the building may be periodically inaccessible. We will provide as much notice as possible and expect to do everything we can to minimize disruption throughout the project. 

Summer is here, but that doesn't mean we - or you - are slowing down. Our building is busier than ever, and as I've mentioned in prior communications, we have been actively looking at ways to carve out more member space. As a result, I'm pleased to announce that over the summer we will be returning my office on the Third Floor to member use. Library Controller Lawi Kibet and I will be relocating to a temporary space on the Fourth Floor.
