Waiting on Steel

The cellar and most exterior column footings have been constructed and await the delivery of steel so that the building can go upward. Steel is expected to be delivered and erected in May. Once steel is up, the site will be bustling with the activities of carpenters, roofers, electricians, HVAC installation…. until we finish the new construction in January 2009. Then we renovate the existing Library, which is scheduled to take six months.

In March we moved approximately 622 boxes containing 23,000 books and magazines to storage in the Village Hall basement. The Library would like to thank Mayor John Shields and the Village for supporting this project by providing storage space. As I write this update, temporary walls are being built on three floors in preparation of 5’ of the South wall to be removed – we apologize for any noise or inconvenience this may cause.
