Almost...

Busy.  That has been the word of the summer.  The Mini B. has seen almost double the traffic since winter.  Not surprising since our Summer Reading Program has been going strong. (By the way, youth are so far ahead of the adults in the Read to Feed Challenge, it’s almost embarrassing!)

For the next week or so at the Mini B. we will be wrapping up summer and trying to tie up the current loose ends.  For the next two weeks, Librarians will be working on setting things up so that the plates keep spinning as we prepare and move back across the street.

The renovation is almost done.  As I type this finalizations of the electronics, blinds and door hardware are being completed inside.  While outside, the parking lot is being repaved and the handicapped ramp created.  Next week shelving is scheduled to arrive and be installed.

We had hoped that shelving would have arrived sooner, but circumstances in their manufacturing did not allow for it.  So, we are currently running about two weeks behind schedule.  Frustrating for all of us!  However, really, it’s kind of remarkable!  Only two weeks?  That’s really pretty good. 

Within the next week or so, we are planning on being able to announce when we’ll be closed, when we’ll re-open, and anything to anticipate in-between.   We will definitely be in the new/old building this fall!

More to come, very, very, very soon!
