The interior of the building is currently in the process of being painted, and five hundred new chairs are scheduled to be delivered on August 24. A new chiller is scheduled for installation beginning in December. The leaky roof is scheduled for repair after the chiller installation. That will be most welcome for customers and employees who have dealt with repeated leaks on first and fourth floors. Leaks on the porch are also expected to be addressed in the exterior cleaning project that has been funded.
Plans are under way for new carpeting and new lighting.
The next census of the United States will be conducted in the year 2000. Most households will receive a short questionnaire that asks six population questions and one housing question, but about 1 in every 6 households will receive a longer questionnaire which includes the same questions that are on the form, plus 26 additional population questions, and 20 additional housing questions. For persons who use census data in their courses or for research purposes, it may be useful to see the survey questions that will be asked in Census 2000. A limited number of informational copies of the long and short forms to be used in the upcoming census survey are available within the Henderson Library, Documents Department . If you would like a copy, come by the Documents Department or call 681-5117.
