Hiatus

Many of you are already aware of the big changes coming to the second floor of the Medina Library.

The changes were highlighted in the Spring Library Live Newsletter:

Front page of the March, April, May 2019 Library Live

Thanks to a bequest from Virginia Wheeler Martin, the new Family History & Learning Center will incorporate the collection in the Franklin Sylvester room with a Digitization Center and a Maker's Space.

The eastern half of the second floor will be getting a total renovation.

The Franklin Sylvester Room collection will be moving into the 1907 Meeting Room during the renovation.

Lauren, Lisa and I have already started packing up materials
to go into storage during the renovation.

1907 Room where the Collection will move during the Renovation.
Some of you may remember that this is where the Collection was
prior to the 2008 expansion of the Medina Library.

 We anticipate that for the next month we will be packing, moving and unpacking.

During this time of upheaval, we will be suspending two of the services we regularly offer to genealogical and historical researchers:

Every Tuesday from 1-4 Lisa or I help genealogist work on their family
history. We won't be able to offer this during the move of the collection.

For those people who cannot make it to the library on
Tuesday afternoons, we have offered One-on-One sessions.

Once the Franklin Sylvester Room Collection has been moved into the 1907 Room, we will evaluate whether we can offer either of these services during the renovation.

We will notify you when the move is complete and the Collection is available again.
