A Week of Construction

The Syracuse Library is closing from Monday, March 16 through Saturday, March 21. The library is opening again on Monday, March 23. No items are due during the week when the library is closed for construction. Patrons are encouraged to stock up on books and movies before the closure.

Renovation work is going to be concentrated on the front entrance, the upstairs bathrooms and the adult circulation desk along with gluing counter-tops. Kim Blaha, director, is working with staff to have in-service trainings. Staff will also spend the week cleaning shelves and preparing upcoming programs. Materials can be dropped in the drop box and holds on books and movies can be placed for pick-up the following week. Call the Syracuse Library at (574) 457-3022.
