That identification process took place in 1995. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I find it hard to believe this library can not find a better time for maintenance to install metal screws into the metal bookcases in the basement. The noise and annoyance of doing this at 9 am Monday morning blew any chance I had of constructive study time in one of the few quiet places here. With the long hours the Library is open for service, it would be extremely difficult to schedule work outside this timeframe.
Most work is done during normal business hours in order to avoid high overtime costs.
You may wish to try alternative study areas in the building while work is going on - we do try to avoid having noise in multiple places at one time. I have read your responses to the suggestion to call the lower level the basement. This is very annoying for people trying to study or talk. Thanks for sharing your comments.
