 New Building FAQ


THE GATES PUBLIC LIBRARY IS MOVING!
The library will be closed from Monday May 16th, 2011 to Wednesday June 15th, 2011

During that time staff will be packing, moving, unpacking and preparing our new building at 902 Elmgrove Road.

The new library is in the Elmgrove Crossing Plaza right next to Jim & Ralph's. We're just down Elmgrove Road from the YMCA. There are maps available at the circulation desk

Will my items be due when you're closed?
No Gates items will be due during the close dates. Our 3 week items are already checking out until June 15th and our 1 week items will check out to June 15th starting on Monday, May 9th.

If you check out a non-Gates item that you received as a hold it will not check out to June 15th. You can return non-Gates items to any nearby library, but we ask that once we're closed you not return Gates items until the new building is open. If you need information on nearby libraries, ask at  the reference desk.

All items returned during the first four days we're open will be considered returned on June 15th.

What about Holds?
Starting May 5th, 2011 Gates will no longer be a valid pick-up location for holds. Patrons and staff will not be able to place holds to be picked up at Gates.

Holds already placed for Gates will suspend until the new library opens. You will not lose your place in the queue; your hold will just be skipped over until we
reopen.

If you would like to change your Hold pickup location to another library just ask at the circulation desk.

What about Donations?
We will not be taking donations until July. More information about donations will be forthcoming.

How can I keep up with news on the new building?
Information will be available on our website (gateslibrary.org). You can also find information on our Facebook page (facebook.com/gateslibrary). You do not need a Facebook account to view our Facebook page.

Where will things be in the new building?
On the inside of this brochure are maps of the first and second floor with the collections marked.

Will you be open the same hours in the new building?
Yes, we will. We will be open Monday-Thursday 9-9, Friday 9-6, and Saturday
10-5. The library phone number will also remain the same.

If you have any questions not covered in this brochure please ask at the reference desk! 4/23/11
