Hi friends,
May is a month of growth and transformation in nature and at the library. We have big changes ahead that we can’t wait to tell you about.
Roof Replacement Project (May/June 2024)
Later this month, construction crews will be onsite to replace our rubber membrane roof. The Dome will not be affected. While you may notice noise and the temporary loss of a few parking spaces to equipment, we anticipate minimal disruptions.
New Opening Time (effective May 28)
Beginning Tues., May 28, the library’s opening time will shift to 9 a.m. This adjustment is permanent, allowing our staff to use 8 – 9 a.m. for meetings, trainings and projects to improve our services.
New Behavior Policy (effective May 28)
Your safety and comfort while visiting the library are our top priorities. We’re introducing a more comprehensive patron behavior policy, shaped by community and staff feedback and approved by the Oshkosh Public Library Board of Trustees at their regular meeting of April 25.
Key highlights include:
- Any illegal activity witnessed or reported will be referred to law enforcement immediately. Patrons engaging in illegal, violent, or threatening behavior will face immediate consequences, with no automatic reinstatement of library privileges.
- The policy includes an anti-bullying statement and addresses issues like sexual harassment and workplace safety.
To ensure a smooth transition, we'll have a grace period for implementation and provide support for staff members as they enforce the new policy. Read the Library Behavior Policy.
These changes mark significant steps forward in our efforts to make your experience at the library even better. If it’s been a while since your last visit, we’d like to invite you to return to an improved environment.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our director by email or call (920) 236-5212 if you have library-related questions or concerns. We always value your input.
We hope to see you soon!
