Although it was installed just over a year ago, the carpet at the Byram Shubert Library is already worn and frayed in areas and shows stains. The Building Committee discovered that the carpet installed at the Byram Shubert Library was not the carpet specified by the architect. As a result, the carpet manufacturer has agreed to pay for the cost of new carpeting and the installer will cover the costs of removal and installation. The Library will be responsible for only the cost for site preparation, cleaning and additional work including installation of extra backing to protect the new carpet.

"August is typically a quieter time for libraries. This timeframe will allow for the work to be completed after Summer Reading ends and before school begins," said Greenwich Library Director Carol Mahoney.
