The week we’ve been waiting for at your library has finally arrived! Moving week!
We’re closed February 21 – 28th to get everything moved from our current location on Graham Avenue to the temporary location of the Graham Community Building (6 N. Adair). We will take about a quarter of the collection with us and will not have access to the remaining materials. We’re doing our best to make sure your favorites are going to be available, but we know we’re bound to disappoint someone. We are sorry in advance.
Because our collection will be so much smaller, the number of items you can check out at a time will be smaller. At this writing, the Library Board hasn’t made that decision yet, but my guess is we’ll be limited to five items total.
We will not have an outside book drop at the GCB, which is a bummer. If you can’t make it inside the building to return your items, you’re welcome to call us and we’ll come out to collect them. Of course, that’s when we’re open. There won’t be any way to drop items off after hours.
Speaking of hours, we will also have new hours. We’re transitioning to our extended hours a little earlier than planned and adding eight hours to our week. Our new hours are:
Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri: 9 am to 6 pm
Thursday: 9 am to 8 pm
Saturday: 9 am to 1 pm
Sunday: Closed
We have internet set up and should be able to provide a scaled-down version of all our services in the temporary location. We won’t have much room for programs or events, but Summer Reading activities are being planned. They should begin in June.
It’s a complicated process to move a portion of the library, so we’re bound to have some things to iron out once we reopen on March 1. Please be patient with us and come see us in the Graham Building!
We’re hoping to be back in our permanent location this Fall.
