Happy Fall to everyone! We have so many things happening at the Adams Memorial Library that it is hard to keep up from day to day. The addition and renovation continues and we will be closing briefly during the last week of September in order to relocate fax and telephone lines and move materials and equipment to the lower level of the library. Conditions will be a bit “primitive” for a few months. We will still offer the popular DVD collection and the new materials for checkout. We will still provide fax and photocopy services. Public use computers will be available, too. After we vacate the main floor, asbestos abatement folks will come in and make the building safe. Then Preston Brothers and their crew will remodel the entire floor. (We picked carpeting and tile today and they are beautiful.)
At the same time that all this is going on, remember that if you prefer a more peaceful environment, you might want to visit the Auburntown Branch Library at 73 East Main Street. It is fun to see the old bank building where it is housed. The Auburntown Branch is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 9a.m. to noon. They have many items that are not held by the Adams Memorial Library . Your library card can be used there as easily as it can in Woodbury. Why not consider a visit?
Remember that the Genealogy Collection is temporarily housed at the vacant church at 213 W High Street in Woodbury. The collection is available for use from 9a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays.
Along with all the other activity this fall, both libraries will be getting a new and more sophisticated library automation checkout system. We will become part of a large consortium with other Tennessee libraries and many new items will be available for you to reserve at other libraries around the state. The materials will then be delivered by a weekly courier service to the borrowing libraries. We expect to switch to this new system in mid-October
