The orange stripe in the public area will be replaced. Movers will come in and move out  or over the furniture and shelves.  We will move the computers.    Library staff will have one day of training--March 30.  On Wednesday, March 30, we will have a staff clean up and out day to prepare for carpeting the staff room areas, (and removing signs, etc).
