UPDATE: Wednesday, 22 February

The new fiction area is developing nicely and will be available to the public in ten days.  As previously posted, it will be located in the former Quiet Study Area.

The large purple signs noting material locations (Movies, Book on CD, Large Print) and other information are removed.  They hung from the ceiling or were posted above service locations.  Please do not hesitate to ask staff for assistance in locating items or services.

The library will be closed from Sunday, 26 February through Friday, 02 March.  We reopen Saturday, 03 March.  Please return items in the drive up bookdrop located on the West side of the building.  Items can also be returned at any Monroe County Library.  Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE: 2/13/2012

Construction sounds are again the theme of the day.  This will continue until 4:00 pm this afternoon.  The entrance to the new bookstore location is being constructed today.  The wall near the computer area is repainted in a new color and looks fantastic.  Services are running smoothly and library staff is willing to assist with any needs or questions.  Thank you.

Here are additional photos of the project:

UPDATE: 2/8/2012

Today there is a symphony of sounds typically associated with construction;  sawing, hammering and pounding.  The noise is concentrated in the southeast corner of the building but is heard throughout.  This is where the new meeting and programming rooms will be located. The noise is periodic and will stop around 5 o'clock this evening.  Thank you.

The renovation project is proceeding smoothly.  The former Quiet Study Area is painted and recarpeting that area started today.  This will be the new location for Adult Fiction books. 

Construction of the new meeting rooms and teen area is moving forward.  Here are pictures of the project in action. 



Thank you for your patience during this chapter Greece Public Library history.  Some materials and resources are temporarily relocated.  Please go to the Information Desk for assistance or information.  Thank you.

Progress continues with the renovations.  Surprisingly, up to this point it is not that noisy! 

Starting Thursday, 02 February, the Frear Room (where programs took place) will be closed and converting it to the new Friends of the Greece Library Secondhand Prose Bookstore begins!

Here is a photo of the present Quiet Study Area located in the southeast corner of the building.
