Climbing stairs is good exercise!
We knew it was coming - just not so soon. But as of right now, and for another 7-8 weeks, the library's public elevator is out of commission.
All elevators require regular maintenance (who wants to get stuck in one?) and ours is no exception. At the same time, the library's was in desperate need of a facelift (it was built in 1973). So this is one of those jobs that combines cosmetic improvements with mechanical upgrades.
The renovations should be completed by early July. But in the meantime...we've made the necessary arrangements to insure that everyone can get to the upper floors, whether to retrieve a book or to study.
Those unable to use the stairs will have access to our freight elevator. Don't worry, it's not one of those antique "looks like it hasn't moved in years" kind of freight elevators. Library staff use it every day. But it does require a key. So anyone needing an elevator should go to the Circulation Desk where someone will be available to take them up to the second or third floor.
This is just one of many improvements to library space which will be happening over the summer and into the new year. I know I can count on your patience and understanding as we continue to make the library a better place.
