i work part time in my local library and i do understand why it may take a mouth for a refurbishment to take place, unlike a shop before work begins all books, tapes CD ete have to be catalogued, boxed and then stored. being a local authority building we can only use agreed council contractors and staff have to be redeployed to other library. i know it can be an problematic to some users but we do always try our best not to cause to much disruption.
