Come Check Out the Temporary Site!

I am pleased to report that our first month in the temporary site of our Georgetown Branch at 224 Maple Avenue has been very successful. With fresh paint and carpeting and some new colourful furniture (which will be accompanying us to the renovated/expanded facility when it re-opens in the Fall of 2012), patrons are once again able to enjoy our collections and programs. Thankfully, we have been able to accommodate all of the Internet stations, and other equipment such as the microfilm reader/printer and photocopier.

The temporary site also offers something new: two self-checkout stations. They are very easy to use and our staff would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate this convenient option. Introducing self-check technology does not affect our staffing levels-- it simply frees up our staff to provide patrons with the help they need.

Please note that access to our temporary site is at the back of the building (on the north side), where you will find signage directing you to the entrance. There is plenty of parking onsite. All the wonderful services and programs you have come to expect at the Church St. facility are waiting for you here: free Internet and wireless access, bestselling books, high quality magazines, the latest DVDs and CDs, computer games and outstanding children's programs. Were open and ready for you!
