REVISED 6-24-2021

Starting July 2021, the three skylights situated above the main seating section of the Library (curved couch, large tables, and outside the computer classroom) will be replaced. Scaffolding and safety barriers will be installed in July, and work is expected to continue into mid-August.

The Library will be undergoing a bit of destructive demolition on the skylights beginning at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 13. Work will continue until 4:00 p.m. We apologize for the noise, but repairs are needed and improvements are on the way!
