Library Reopens Sunday, November 23rd
A Grand-Reopening Celebration is scheduled for Sunday, November 23 from
1pm to 4pm, with an official ceremony at 3 pm. "Various activities" are
planned.
Book Delivery Service
The
Friends of Rochambeau
have set up a volunteer book delivery service for library patrons who
have difficulty traveling to other branches during the renovation.
Library card holders who register for the service can order books by
phone or on the
CLAN website, and a librarian
at the
Fox Point Branch
will call a volunteer who will pick up the books and deliver them.
For more information about this service, call Tom Arrison at 331-0056.
Drop Box, Bulletin Board
A new, bright yellow drop box has been installed on the corner of
Hope Street and Langham Road, right in front of the library.
The Friends of Rochambeau plan to attach a bulletin board to the
fence there and to post news and updates about the library renovation.
