The Budimir (1310 Grand Marais Road West) and Riverside (6305 Wyandotte Street East) branches of Windsor Public Library are closed today through Friday because of severe flooding sustained during the storms experienced throughout the region yesterday.
Updates will be posted on the library web site at windsorpubliclibrary.com regarding plans to re-open.
To assist customers in the impacted areas, FRED, the WPL mobile library will be situated at Riverside Branch in the morning and at Budimir in the afternoon. This arrangement will last for the duration of the closure.
Thursday, August 31, FRED will be at Riverside 10-1pm and Budimir 3-6pm.
Friday, September 1, FRED will be at Riverside 10-1pm and Budimir 3-6pm.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
It would be useful to advise of the exact hours that FRED is available.
Just saying “morning” or “afternoon” is not very helpful.
This is especially confusing because the Riverside branch was supposed to open at 12pm yesterday.
Thanks.
Thursday FRED will be at Riverside 10-1pm and Budimir 3-6pm
Friday FRED will be at Riverside 10-1pm and Budimir 3-6pm
We apologize for the inconvenience.
I have books on hold at Riverside. Will they be held until that branch reopens?
Yes they will. Riverside Library is scheduled to reopen tomorrow at 9 am.
Did architectural team designing the proposed new expansion / addition to the Budimir Library take flood proofing measures into consideration with their new design for the Budimir Library? Has that even become a facilities management potential afterthought now?
Thank You for your comments David. Engineers and Architects will certainly review and study this issue when formalizing the final design plans, as they will all issues which impact the project.
