The time has finally arrived - construction on the Library expansion will begin Monday, October 22, 2007.

• On Tuesday October 16th, The Nyack Library Board of Trustee’s approved the first three bids of excavation, concrete and steel. The Construction Manager has mobilized these trades and work begins on the long awaited library expansion.

• The current overall construction schedule is:
  Excavation and concrete work completed late November 2007.
  Steel is expected to be delivered and erected in January 2008.
  Completion of the new building around September 2008.
  Complete renovations to the existing building by January 2009.

• Construction fences will go up Monday to block off all access behind the Stevenson House (Klay Gallery & Art Café) to the parking lot and the back portion of the DePew House. For safety reasons only construction workers will be allowed on the construction site.
  
  
• By mid November the Library will be moving portions of the collection to off-site storage, rearrange remaining portions of the collections, and clear out 8’ from the south wall on three levels. It is the Library’s intention to have material that is stored off-site be available next business day.
