LIBRARY RENOVATION April 30, 2009
Posted by Ms. Klemundt in Announcements.add a comment
As I write this, a crew of workers is moving all the books and other materials out of the library in preparation for the start of renovations next week. That means some big changes for all of us for the last few weeks of the school year.
The Tech Lab space is also being so closed, but Rooms 121 and 123 will be open for drop-in computer use before and after school and for most periods during the school day. Check the schedule posted outside 121 and 123 to see which room is open and when.
The library copier is in the Math Lab and is available for your use.
Library staff has been relocated to the Math Lab and the Writing Lab. Stop by to see one of us if you have any questions. Although we no longer have access to our books, we can still help you with your research, formatting your bibliography, or other questions. Even if you don’t have a question, stop by and say Hello! If you need to return a library book or pay a fine, see Mrs. Roy in the Math Lab.
And we’ll keep you posted on the renovation plans.
