Money is a bit scarce at the library this year but we’re still working on making some needed repairs to the Evans Branch. We replaced the leaky roof last year but we still needed to fix the water damaged walls in the children’s department. Thanks to the efforts of a group of volunteers from Sherman Furniture Rentals organized by Irondequoit resident Peter Kelderhouse Sr., the job has been completed at no cost to the library. Take a look at some pictures snapped last Saturday as the project was in progress. The day before the project the library staff removed all the books from the shelves. On Saturday, the shelving was unbolted and moved away from the walls. The damaged wall sections were then scraped and patched. When the repaired sections were dry they were sanded. Then the walls were washed and then painted. All this was done in one day.
Thank you to Peter and all our friends at Sherman’s!
