Again, a reminder that as of
July, 2012, all the collections of Central Library are unavailable to staff and public. The move from the temporary storage
location and various branches will be a lengthy one, as all materials are
prepared, moved, and arranged in their new locations in the renovated
building. Unfortunately this means that
the new books that appear in this blog are not able to be requested and sent to
branches. If you see a title you would
like to check out, first check the catalog to see if there is a copy at a
branch. If not, please be patient, keep
a list, and watch the library’s public announcements for the date when Central’s
collections will again be available.
We are
truly sorry for this major inconvenience, but it is just not possible to keep
the collections accessible while they and the staff are in such flux. Central Library reopens on December 9, 2012.
