YOUTH SERVICES OPEN AGAIN

The Youth Department re-opened its doors to patrons late this afternoon as soon as the finally-finished carpeting was vacuumed. The predominantly blue-purple-pink-etc. carpeting looks great--mostly thin stripes with occasional blocks of circles and stars. The computer room had not yet been re-set up by 5:30; it will be ready by Saturday morning.

YOUTH DEPARTMENT UPDATE

The new carpeting is almost completely installed now--just the edges are left (the parts that need shaping). Re-opening of the department is anticipated for sometime Friday afternoon.

YOUTH DEPARTMENT CARPETING PROGRESS

The Youth Services Department is having its carpeting replaced this week. The replacement began on Monday; it looks like they are about half way finished, so far. From the West wall, they have done the YA bump out and were almost to the offices on the East side of the room and back (South) toward the windows up to the Reference Desk area. The Play area by the window is not done yet, but the old carpeting is gone. (This was as of c.11:00 a.m.) The new carpeting is multicolored with a dark blue background; some squares have geometric shapes (didn't see them close up). Really, really nice.

Although the actual Youth Services room is closed, some books and materials are still available just outside the door and one of the librarians is seated there to assist patrons. Videos and DVD's are on carts in Adult Services. The department could be open Friday or Saturday at the latest.
