More construction news...

The basement is looking better and better by the day!  The walls have been painted, the doors have been installed, and they are now working on lighting. Take a look at a couple of shots from this morning:

Renovation update!

My apologies for the long delay since my last post -- I'm not sure where the last couple of weeks went!  We have been very busy here at the library, especially where the renovation is concerned.  Since my last post, the sheet rock has all been hung, spackled, taped, and sanded.  (See photos below from the sheet rocking in progress.)  Today, the painters are here, so we're moving right along.

Please be aware that the library may suffer some intermittent closures throughout the remainder of the renovation project.  We hope not to have to do this often, but for the comfort of our patrons and staff, closing may sometimes be necessary.  We will try to get the word out in advance whenever possible, so please check this blog, our website, our Facebook page and Twitter feeds, and signs at the library for closure notices.  We are so sorry to inconvenience our patrons in this way, but I promise that the end product will be worth it!

Keep in mind that we belong to the Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium which allows our patrons to use their Matawan-Aberdeen cards in 27 other libraries, including Old Bridge, Long Branch, Sayreville and South River.  If we are closed, you should feel free to visit one of the libraries in our consortium to check out books, use a computer, or read newspapers and magazines.  The full list of member libraries can be found here: http://www.lmxac.org/lmx/member.html.

Thank you for your continued patience!  Please let me know if you have concerns or questions: kpaone@lmxac.org or 732-583-9100.
