Update: 3/27/2012

The new bookstore is starting to take shape.  The entrance door and window frames are in place and work is moving forward.

The exterior windows of the new meeting rooms are installed and deliver a large amount of natural light into the rooms.

Progress on the new Teen area is continuing and construction is on schedule.

At present, the project is nearly 75% complete.  Your cooperation and patience has assisted us in maintaining service during construction.  Thank you.

Here are some recent photographs of the project:

UPDATE: 3/11/2012

We have received many compliments and comments since reopening! 

The new location for Adult Fiction includes a new Mystery section.  There are maps located at the Information Desk to identify where items are relocated.  Please do not hesitate to ask library staff for assistance.

The carpeting portion of the project is nearly complete.  The only remaining area to be carpeted is the new Teen Area and a portion of the non-fiction area. 

The new Secondhand Prose Bookstore is progressing and the new entrance is visible.  Behind the curtain, shelving and drywall is being installed.

Please come in and enjoy the new seating arrangment by the fish tank.  The skylights offer excellent natural lighting and an enjoyable reading environment. 

Here are pictures showing the construction and completion of portions of the renovation project:

UPDATE: 3/2/2012

We reopen tomorrow morning at 9 am.  Nearly all services and materials are available.  However, all adult non fiction, biographies and local history items are unavailable for retrieval.  Librarians will do their best to locate materials online or at other Monroe County Library branches to meet your information needs in those areas.  Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

UPDATE: 3/1/2012

Since we closed for renovations, an extraordinary amount of progress has taken place.  The new fiction section is complete, 60% of the new carpeting is installed and an enormous amount of the collection is relocated.  Also, window cut outs for the new meeting room are completed and the accordian door separating the two new meeting rooms is installed.  That was loud!  In addition, a wall was taken down to begin constructing the entrance to the new bookstore.  Closing for this week allowed a significant amount of progress to take place that otherwise would take much longer with more interruptions to services if we remained open.  Thank you very much for your patience and understanding during this exciting time in Greece Public Library history.  Here are some photos highlighting what is unfolding this week:
