And, beginning in April 2001, a renovation of the existing Hamilton Library will begin. The renovation is major, including asbestos removal and a new air-conditioning system. Books will be paged upon request. To make way for the renovation, whole library departments and many books must be moved. Library faculty and staff are working hard to make sure that library services and access to library materials continue throughout the renovation period.
Details follow . . .
Until the Addition is open to the public in January 2001, the relocated portions of the Sci-Tech collection will be paged upon request. A temporary main entrance will open to the Addition off Maile Way. Circulation and checkout will be relocated to the first floor of the Addition. The first floor of the Addition will remain open to the public and reference assistance will be available there. Books from all collections will be paged during the summer, although there will be periods when portions of the BHSD collection will be inaccessible during asbestos removal.
