The 2014 budget provides for new flooring at the SW Neighborhood Library, and we are moving ahead by replacing carpeting at the inner library entrance area with wood plank flooring. The new flooring will extend from the circulation desk to the children's entrance. The product is quiet under the feet, easy to clean, and will incorporate a fresh look to the space.
The work will take place over 3 days, starting
on Sunday, August 24th, then continue after closing on the 25th and 26th.
The workers only plan to pull carpet in sections as the vinyl plank progresses. There should be no work in this area during operating hours. Our preparation will take place
Saturday evening (23
rd) and will involve removing the security gates and the cabinet that separates the two doors, as well as relocating any other items within the affected space. The divider cabinets will not be replaced. The security gates will be replaced.
On Friday, August 22, the computer lab carpet will be replaced. That area will not be open to the public during installation. Lin will lead staff on roping off the room and providing signage redirecting patrons to other areas for computing purposes.
The new entry way flooring at SW continues to be popular with the public. I bet it is easier to keep clean this winter! One day last week a fellow came up and said he loved the new flooring in the computer lab. So a double header :)
