Pardon our Closing

     If it weren't for our closing for inventory, we wouldn't know exactly where we are with the hundreds of thousands of items we have in our library for the community to use.
     If it weren't for our closing for inventory, the carpets in the adult reading area, the computer areas, the auditorium, and the genealogy areas would not have all those ugly stains removed...those stains of muddy shoes, dropped baby bottles whose tops came open, and all the things we won't mention.
     If it weren't for our closing for inventory, the hard floors could not be scrubbed and waxed (Mitchell told me they put a coat of wax on every 15 minutes until it shines like glass!).
     If it weren't for our closing for inventory, the ceiling fans would not get dusted, the past few years of paper accumulation would not be cleared out, the books could not be inventoried in our system, and lost items found.  Plus, everyone's desks could not be cleaned, computers inventoried and updated, and on and on.
     If it weren't for our closing for inventory...well, you get the idea.
     So, pardon our closing and sorry for the inconvenience, but when we reopen on Saturday, August 6th, you'll recognize a nice fresh smell throughout the building...not exactly like a sea breeze, but nice and clean.
     And we'll be happy to see you once more and help you with all your library needs.
