Day Two

A new air handling system is being installed in the library. To access the air ducts, the lights and ceiling tiles must be removed from the Children's Room. Hence the Children's Room will be closed until the work is done. The planned completion date is June 1, 2010. Until then, the books from the Children's Room have to moved into various areas of the library. Please scroll down.

The children's Biography section has been moved to the area near the public internet terminals. Meanwhile, the Science Fiction area has been moved to the second story area (mezzanine) at the rear of the library.

The juvenile fiction books have been moved into the area where the teen fiction used to be.

The children's picture books and non-fiction area are right behind the DVD cases.
