| Pardon Our Appearance... HVAC Renovation | 
On or about October 15, construction on the Main Library's heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) project will begin. Phase One will include installing a gas line, putting two new HVAC units on the roof, and constructing the descending ducts. At various times our side parking lot and parts of our collection will not be accessible. There will be some noise during this phase, and we ask for your patience while we make the library a more comfortable environment in which to work and study, learn and enjoy. |
