RE: Circulation desk replacement
Mr. Griffin:
The current main circulation desk at the library is nearly 48 years old and is no longer an
acceptable service point for customers or staff. It was designed before computers were in us
and is not accessible to customers who use a wheelchair. The library is replacing this desk with
a new one designed by Tucker Library Interiors, the same company that designed the service
desk in the Reference and Children’s departments of the library. Included in this project is the
addition of shelving to house items on hold for patrons, a cabinet for our self-check station and
a small work station for our security staff at the main desk.
Because we are able to make this purchase through a purchasing cooperative (MHEC) the
competitive bid process was not necessary under the city’s purchasing guidelines.
This project will be paid for from the library's regular appropriated budget, with installation
expected to occur in September, 2018.
