The carrels from that area have already been relocated to other areas on third floor. Early the week of April 30, plans are to start working in the atrium, although these plans are very susceptible to change. If this does happen, a construction wall will be erected in front of the glass, and plastic will be put up at least up to the second floor for dust control. Noise levels will vary throughout the renovation. If you are having trouble concentrating because of the noise, we will provide earplugs for you to use and keep for future visits to the library.
Earplugs are available at the circulation desk.
Starting today and continuing for about two weeks, construction on the second floor, southeast side of the building, will start. There will be intermittent drilling, pounding, and general construction noise. This week ambient noise testing for baseline information is occurring. The area will be for library staff only. Air quality will be monitored on a daily basis, and results will be posted on the library website.
