From Edward Pikula, Springfield City Law Dept: The City's relocation expert reports that in his communications with the Urban League they have indicated they are target for a 9/29 or 9/30 move. I need to meet with representatives of the SLF ( Springfield Library Foundation) and SMA ( Springfield Museums Association) to assure that funding is in place for our renovation related contracts, and hope to report more on that next week.
From Molly Fogarty, Director, Springfield Library Dept: Steve Jablonski is overseeing the roof replacement and will be meeting with Rivet Roofing . The Request for Proposals for Self Check and Media Management equipment has been submitted.

From Molly Fogarty, Director, Springfield Library Dept: The Law Dept. does not have any new information. The furniture and shelving have been ordered. I attended the Nike event last Sunday, and encouraged anyone that I spoke to, to view the “Coming soon“ display in our exterior display window. (It was a wonderful event!!)
In response to [the] request [to check the old Library sign], I have followed up with Henry Thomas, he has responded and let me know that he is checking into it. He thinks that the Springfield City Library sign was painted over, rather than covered. However, he is not sure and will update us as soon as he is. If the sign was painted, we can replace it with a new sign that reflects our current system signage.
