The Library Director met with the DPW Director, Facilities Manager, and IT <br /> Assistant Director to discuss carpeting in the Children's Room. Everything was <br /> looked at from power outlets to painting and carpeting. The project start date is <br /> set for the end of December, beginning of January. This will take three weeks, but <br /> they schedule four weeks, should a storm require snow removal, or in the event <br /> of some emergency. The new desk will require ports, call buttons, and a <br /> walkthrough. The Children's Room will be closed in the month of January, and <br /> items will be moved into the Event Room. The Conference Room will serve as a <br /> children's space for a small collection and programming. <br /> The Friends have put aside $100,000 to replace three service desks in the <br /> library, and the cost per desk is $30,000-$35,000. The Library Director will need <br /> to identify a desk for purchase. The goal is to have a square modular structure on <br /> wheels. Shelving will be replaced as the renovations move along, and going <br /> forward, everything will be portable. The entire room will be freshly painted, and <br /> the lime green accent will be replaced with a cool blue to match the carpeting. <br /> A notice will need to go out to the public ASAP saying the library will not be taking <br /> any meeting room reservations forthe month of January, active reservations will <br /> remain. <br /> MOTION: <br /> Ruth Nickerson made a motion to temporarily close the Mashpee <br /> Public Library meeting room reservations to the public, until further <br /> notice, and revisit reopening upon completion of the Children's Room <br /> renovation project, at the January/February Library Trustee's meeting. <br /> An announcement will be made once reservations open again. <br /> Seconded by Mary LeClair.
