Building Advisory Committee

Since January, the newly-formed Building Advisory Committee or BAC for short has met twice a month to determine what needs to be done to get our Main Library renovated.  The committee, ably chaired by Trustee Marietta DiCamillo, has trustees, staff members (including myself), members of the public and some volunteers experts, engineers, architects and project managers who have agreed to lend their expertise to the process.

In January, the Great Neck Library Board of Trustees voted to renovate the Main Library within its existing footprint and not to expand.  So the committee is studying each department and each service the library provides to determine if the department or service needs to grow or shrink; where it could be located and whether or not portions of the collection or services could be moved from Main to one of the branches.

Minutes from all the meetings held to date are on our website so please read them and if you have any questions, concerns or ideas, please feel free to email me, call me or comment on this blog.  And all the meetings are open to the public.  You can find the schedule on our website as well.

Join us and become part of the process.  This is your library!  We want to make it efficient, beautiful and user-friendly.
