Changes in Ukiah

Customers coming into the main Ukiah branch today could be forgiven for feeling lost. Over the past few days, the library moved things around. Here are some of the changes you can look out for next time you visit:

• The books and other materials that people have reserved are now self-service. They on new shelving to the north of the check out desk. The DVDs will remain behind the desk but anything else will be out on the shelves for pick-up. They can be found alpha-numerically, using the first four letters of your last name and the last four digits of your library card. For instance, my reserves would be under LIGH-7927.

• The library has a new quiet area. Back where the public computing used to be, there will now be a table and comfortable chairs, the newspapers and magazines and reference books. It will be a quiet, comfortable place to read and contemplate the world.

• The public computers will be to the south of the reference desk once they are set up again. They are currently being moved but we're hoping they'll be up and going again by the 2nd of July. They will be located much more conveniently so that customers can see if they are being used easily.

There will be a few more changes yet to come but for now, come in and pay us a visit and tell us what you think of our re-arranging.
