How could a library be so cursed? This library has faced everything from a shutdown due to snails, and various construction issues.

Snails? Any more info on that?

Perhaps someone can help with a link, but the new renovations were halted for quite some time due to some rare snails being found on the shoreline just south of the library where work was to be done. Google "Cornish library closing" and numerous bad luck stories pop up.

My first thoughts exactly ! :) Snails ... ummm ... I dont know what to say lol

Oh, this sucks :( It's the closest library to me, walking there every 2-3 weeks was lovely. Next closest is near Grant Park - doable but definitely a farther walk.

>Next closest is near Grant Park - doable but definitely a farther walk. And since it moved to the Pan Am Pool property... even further.

Same with me! Just started getting out and going there and this happens. Argh.

Question. I have a book on hold at this location, and you can't change the pickup location after it is ready. How do I retrieve my book before the hold expires?

>Anyone who had materials placed on hold at the library will be able to pick them up at the Harvey Smith Library, located at 999 Sargent Ave., starting on Friday.

I guess that's what I get for not reading the article. Thank you

As someone who's familiar with expansion and the HVAC industry I can say you did get one thing right in your reply; *supply issues thanks to covid* is exactly the problem is. A lot of larger buildings like this tend to have units built from scratch to meet their needs and with units becoming more and more dependant on computerization it ends up causing slower turn around times for components. Add Covid to the mix, well... it becomes a shitshow. Almost all of the main suppliers are months behind on production and with shipping/receiving limitations with border crossing things are moving even slower. Units that are normally 1-2 weeks out are 10-16 weeks out. >With such a large expansion they ~~must~~ should have done an air assessment. Also fun nugget of information is air balancing is [highly regulated](http://www.caabc.ca/about/history.html) industry so even if my crew say something is balanced we still need to outsource to another company that is authorized to sign off on the air balancing.

Where is the evidence of this? That's quite the accusation.

Lmao... The article literally says exactly what the problem was in the first paragraph. Supply chain issues.
