Here is a copy of a recent email concerning the progress of the renovation project. They have posted a job vacancy for the Assistant Branch Manager, which has been vacant since before construction began a year ago. Whiteford's materials have special status and wont be due till after the first of the year. Our system went to a shared collection on 11/2/09, so this has been a busy week for everyone!
To ALL STAFF
Whiteford Branch construction is almost finished! The contractor expects to turn the building over to us on Monday, November 9. Although that will be close to the end for the contractor, it will be just the beginning for the Whiteford staff as we move into the next phase: Getting the branch ready for opening.
The next steps will be:
November 9: Anticipated closing of modular.
November 9-15: Vacate modular and set up workspace in main building
Mid-November: Installation of shelving and then furniture and equipment
By end of November: Materials moved from RIV and storage to Whiteford. RFID tag any items not previously tagged.
December: Continuing working on shelving materials and getting equipment set up and in place.
January 4 2010: Soft opening
February 17 2010: Grand opening
This is an abbreviated timeline but it gives you the basics of what will be happening. We will keep you update with more details as we move into each step:
Congratulations to Whiteford staff! It will be a busy but rewarding next few months!
