Link to January 6 Jamestown (NY) Post-Journal article, "Library to Reopen".Excerpt: The library has been closed for the last 19 weeks as construction crews and library workers alike have been hard at work on the project.
It all began as a simple light-replacement project when library officials learned ballasts would no longer be manufactured for the light fixtures in the main reading room and the children's room, forcing them to choose between retrofitting the existing fixtures or installing new ones. Both choices involved the removal of asbestos located in the ceiling tiles in the front portion of the library.
While that work was being done, library officials reasoned, the asbestos located in tiles beneath the carpet should also be removed.
''From the beginning, we've asked people to focus on improvements to be made rather than temporary inconvenience,'' Ms. Way said. ''The payoff for their patience is at hand.''
