Repair Updates

Now that work on our garage is complete, our sights are set on repairs in our storage areas and sidewalk. In the coming weeks work on the 120th street sidewalk will begin. Barricades will be installed, allowing pedestrian traffic to move safely outside of the work area. The work at the sidewalk will continue through the summer, and will include replacement of the sidewalk for the entire length of 120th street. At the same time work inside the basement level storage vault will be underway, so access to some areas may be limited.

If you have any questions about accessing your items in storage please contact the building management office (Suite 240)

and we will assist you.

The Ruth Stafford Peale Library

About the Book:

A love letter to city life—however shiny or sleazy—Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney paints a portrait of

a remarkable woman across the canvas of a changing America: from the Jazz Age to the onset of the AIDS

epidemic; the Great Depression to the birth of hip-hop.

Book Club – The book selection for April is, Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk by Kathleen Rooney and will meet on Thursday, April 11, 12PM. If you are not a member but would like to join, call extension 3804, e-mail tdelduca@interchurch-center.org, or stop by the Library, Suite 250. Coloring Club – The Library has started a Coloring Club. The next meeting will be April 12, 12PM - 1PM and will be Easter themed. Materials will be provided. Coloring is a great way to de-stress.
