Thankfully, the HVAC technician was able to get to the Library quickly. He determined that gasket on pipe in the boiler system was leaking and would have to be replaced. The pipe was isolated and heat restored, pending replacement of the gasket tomorrow since that's apparently a two-man job.
The elevator is working fine after its earlier bid for attention.
Early next week, I hope to announce our new Head of Maintenance. He can't start soon enough, in my opinion.

It's Raining in the Library!
A pipe is leaking in the lower level lobby. We know its boiler system water because it smells like anti-freeze.
I shut off the pumps and water to the system at the boiler per the instructions of our HVAC maintenance company. An HVAC technician is on his way.
Plus, just to pile on the problems this morning, the elevator was acting up again. Thankfully, it continues to "park" itself at the lower level so anyone aboard may exit.
Acting as Head of Maintenance while we are searching for one, I can tell you that I understand more fully than ever the extent of the issues with this building. We cannot get a new Head of Maintenance started soon enough!

Head of Maintenance Needed
Our Head of Maintenance, Chuck Peterman, has resigned. The Board and staff appreciate his years of hard work on behalf of the Library and the community. We wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
Now the search begins for our next Head of Maintenance. The job ad is posted on the Library's website and linked here.
An experienced supervisor with a variety of skills is needed, to do everything from hanging signs to maintaining the right balance of chemicals in the boiler system to mowing the lawn. Positive attitude and customer service skills are essential. With ever-increasing Library use by the community and our aging building, the job has no shortage of challenges - and a competitive package of salary and benefits.
