From the Director

Library Closed through the Thanksgiving Break     
 
Early this week, the contractor identified a defect in the installation of the trusses for the lower roof in the library/admin building. This caused several of the trusses - and the ceiling suspended from them - to sag.
 
The engineers and truss manufacturers have identified the problem and the contractor has begun remediation works. Unfortunately, we will have to close the library for the duration of these works, which will be through the Thanksgiving holiday. This will allow sufficient time for the contractor to do the work, the engineers and City Council to inspect the work, and for the library to be cleaned of any dust from the process. We will not move back into the space until we are 100% sure that the repairs have been properly completed and the space is clean.
 
I recognize that the library closure will create significant inconvenience for many. I appreciate your patience as we conduct this important work.
