Over the past two months, Blaisdell Memorial Library has undergone several major changes to our building, grounds, and layout. Some of this work has included necessary upgrades to our water and septic system, improvements and development of the library’s accessible garden, and changes to improve the flow of traffic through the building and the use of the space we have.
On Friday, September 27th and Saturday, September 28th, the library building will be closed to replace the building’s carpet. Unfortunately, part of this renovation requires that BML temporarily remove all library items from the building.
Over the next week, library staff and volunteers will be moving items into boxes for storage. This process means that many items will not be on shelves, and reserves may not be accessible to staff. We will do our best to locate any material you are looking for, but we expect that some items will be temporarily unavailable.
Any reserves or requests placed between 9/19 and 9/28 will be placed on hold until library materials are returned to the building in early October. If an item is in-library but unavailable at the time of your visit, we can place it on reserve for you. We can also place ILL requests for items that are temporarily inaccessible but please note that ILL shipments may take up to two weeks to arrive.
We understand that the library’s many recent closures have been inconvenient to our patrons, but hope that all major work will soon be completed, allowing us to focus on making the library a more welcoming, useful, and enjoyable experience to visit!
Thank you for your understanding!
