The staff of Alfred Dickey Public Library is looking forward to seeing more patrons in the future, according to Joe Rector, director of the James River Valley Library System. We are currently in phase 2 of our reopening, he said. Phase 3 would allow more people in the buildings and opening more computers for use.
Shelves are being built to house the items and are displayed in a glassed-in office so patrons can see it as they walk into the library.
In other library news, Rector says now is a good time to start thinking about their seed library.
The seed library will be open to the public on March 1st starting at 10 AM. Rector adds there will be a Modern Day Victory Gardens program put on by Alicia Harstad from the NDSU Extension Service on March 16th with a Q&A at the end.
Renovations are also nearly complete at the library.
Rector says they would like the new facility to operate in conjunction with Alfred Dickey Public Library. He added they would want land where the new library would be highly visible, easily accessed, close to schools, and an attractive space for programing, technology, and people.
