From Wednesday, May 8 through Friday, May 17, the Wood County District Public Library will be replacing worn carpet in the main hallway, both entrances, in front of the Check-Out Desk, and on the stairwell in the atrium.
According to Library Director Michael Penrod: “Tis a good problem that our community uses the library so much that the 25-year carpet has been worn away in just 16 years.”
As work progresses, the library will be required to close off areas and entrances – and will use outdoor signage to direct visitors where to enter the building or how to reach the second floor. This will include several days of entering the library through an emergency exit in the Children’s Area.
Penrod stated in a press release: “We apologize for any inconvenience and ask for your patience as we work to keep the library an inviting place to learn, discover, and explore.”
