\”We checked out 133 books and videos,\” Ann Sherman of Sterling Heights said. \”A lot of them are children\’s books for my son. But we also took out books for my husband and myself.\”
\”The library is shutting its doors Sunday as part of a $1.6-million renovation project. Library officials say the task of moving 200,000 volumes would be easier if fewer of the books remain on the shelves. \”We\’re going to be closed for at least a month, maybe longer, depending on how the remodeling goes,\” library director Carol Lingeman said.
\”But we\’re letting people keep all of their (checked-out) books until Aug. 1 because we figure that\’s the latest date that we will reopen.\”
Usually, the library checks out materials for three-week periods.
Lingeman said improvements to the library include a meeting area that seats 150 people, a children\’s story-time reading room, a larger lobby, a browsing area for adults and a room for its volunteer group, the Friends of the Library.\”
