"It's about to die at any second. It actually did die at one point," being "out for a couple of hours during the summer," Fay says.

"It's a couple of months past where we wanted it to be."

Crews will work from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays, and some weekends, Fay says.

Most of the demolition will occur from 7 to 10 a.m., she says.

Noise and air quality will be tested daily, Fay says.

Library officials will post news of unanticipated changes in hours or services on the library's website, and Facebook and Twitter feeds, she says.
