From Lynn Rosato, Library Director–

The Bethel Public Library Renovation Project – Construction of the future Children’s Program Room is almost finished and we are getting ready to relocate staff from the Seelye House to this space and to other areas on the first floor.  During this move, the Library’s hours will be modified as follows:

Friday, December 7: CLOSED 10 a.m.-1 p.m.  OPEN 1-5 p.m.

Monday, December 10: CLOSED 10 a.m.-2 p.m. OPEN 2-8 p.m.

The Library will be open regular hours on Saturday, December 8 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Sunday, December 9 from 1-5 p.m.

Please note dates are approximate:

• Construction of Children’s Library program room–start 11/26/12
• Staff moving into temporary offices–start 12/7/12
• Work begins in Seelye House and on 2nd floor–start 12/17

In 2005, we moved into a partially finished new library addition. Now, in 2012, after many years of planning and fundraising, the final stage of the Bethel Public Library renovation project has begun!

From time to time, some materials and areas may be temporarily unavailable during construction.  We’ll do our best to minimize disruption to service and to keep you informed of any changes in the Library’s schedule.  As always, please ask staff for assistance.

We apologize for any inconvenience and we thank you for your support and patience!

Sincerely,

Lynn Rosato

Library Director
