November 2001 events in
the Main Library Project
Final
Farewell to the Old Main Library Building
On November 17 Library
Board members and plenty of patrons turned out for the Final Farewell
to the old main library building at 834 Lake Street. Patrons shared their
memories of the building in the Memory Book and walked away with Polaroids
of themselves in their favorite spot in the Library. Patrons also enjoyed
balloon animals done by David Lyons the Balloon Man.
Main Library Moves, Expanded
Branch Hours Begin
On Monday, November
26 the Main Library closed to begin the moving process. Hours at the Dole
and Maze Branch Libraries were expanded to provide continued service to
patrons. Branch hours will remain expanded while the Main Library is at
its temporary location at 215 Harlem Avenue in Forest Park.
The move began with non-fiction books in the Dewey 100's.
Moving
bins on wheels made the process relatively easy, and quick.
A range
of shelves has been moved.
