Construction on a long-awaited elevator at the Monroeville Public Library started June 26.

“It’s exciting; we’re looking forward to the end result. In the meantime, we’ll make it work,” library Director Nicole Henline said.

Henline said she expects construction of the $200,000 elevator to last three months. The rooms affected most, she said, will be the children’s library on the first floor and the quiet study room on the second floor. Both areas will be partially closed when crews are working in those areas.

“We moved carts of books and other materials like toys from the children’s library so people still have access to as much as possible,” she said, adding that staff also will be available to access other materials from the children’s library if they are not in the carts.

To accommodate people for quiet study, the library will use Yolanda’s Room on the second floor, Henline said.

“The only time that won’t work is when another program is planned (at Yolanda’s Room),” she said.

The library’s hours will not be affected. They are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The library is closed Sundays through summer months.

Henline acknowledged the inconvenience of limited accessibility to the two rooms.

“Look to the end,” she said. “We’ll have a new elevator that will make the library accessible to all.”

The elevator will replace a lift that connects the library’s two floors. Funds for the new elevator came from a $100,000 state grant in March and $40,000 from the library’s budget. The rest came from money raised through fundraisers in 2016 .

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
