No word yet on how long the work will take. Stay tuned.
i received an email from the library--i have books on hold--stating, "We anticipate the library being closed for approximately two months for roof replacement." so it'll likely open in 3-4 months.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably a safe bet, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteTwo months. Ludicrous. It's a week's job max. Pay for scaffold for duration. Deprive citizen's of an asset for duration. Why not replace the roof when they fixed the facade a few years age? Do the librarians get paid in the interim to not work or are they reassigned?
ReplyDeleteWhy did they repair the roof? Is the roof leaking, or did the directors of the library decide to replace the roof completely? It's a good thing, though. These public places should always look fresh and new, so the people in the community would be encourage to visit them.
