NEWS BRIEFS: PA library renovations now underway … and other items

PORT ANGELES — Renovations are curtailing some services at the Port Angeles Library through Sept. 8.

Work began Monday on the $27,000 renovation.

Nearly 6,000 square feet of worn carpet will be replaced at the library at 2210 S. Peabody St. Walls also will be repaired and painted as needed, said Noah Glaude, assistant library director.

The library will remain open throughout the project with some service limitations.

During the project, parts of the library’s fiction, nonfiction, biography and young adult collections will be unavailable for short periods. Patrons are encouraged to continue placing holds on material from Port Angeles and other branches during the renovation.

About half of the library’s 32 public computers will be unavailable throughout most of the project.

Wi-Fi access, express computers with a 15-minute limit, circulating iPads and digital microfilm reader computers will remain available.

Other areas of the library will remain open and operate as usual during the renovation project.
