PREPPING THE LIBRARY Sarah Ford for Shaw Media
Odell Public Library staff Amy Shoemaker (front) and MaryEllen Brackemyer have some fun while tightening up books on the shelves on Saturday, March 18. The library closed Monday, March 20, for preparation and installation of new flooring throughout the facility for the three-week project. The contractor, Boss Carpet One of Dixon, has a machine to move the heavy bookshelves, so staff had to ensure all the books were secure. Story on page 2.
