Jackson District Library To Replace 155 Windows at the Carnegie Library
Jackson District Library Carnegie Building. JTV file photo. (July 1, 2024 1:34 PM ET) Contractors will begin replacing nearly all windows at the Carnegie Library, 244 W. Michigan Ave., this summer. The library will remain open during the project, though as a safety precaution, some rooms and areas within the building will not be accessible on a periodic basis. Officials are closing the parking lot just north of the library for use as a staging area for contractors. Patrons will still be able to access the parking lot directly west of the building and will still have access to the drive-thru book drop during the project. Beginning today, contractors will begin to remove the century-old windows from the library building. Jackson contractor R.W. Mercer is the project manager and will oversee the replacement of the old windows with new, historically-accurate windows. JDL officials hired Asbestos Abatement Inc. to remove the old windows. The district is spending $800,000 on the project. "Our top priority is to keep our patrons and our staff safe," JDL Director Liz Breed said. "This project is being coordinated with the utmost care and concern so work can be done safely while also keeping the library open…
Jackson College Offering Youth Soccer Camp
(July 1, 2024 12:29 PM ET) Youth soccer players ages 5 to 14 are invited to have some fun and learn new skills at a Soccer Camp held August 15 & 16 from 12 noon to 2 p.m. at Jackson College. Each camper will receive a T-shirt and participate in a fun learning environment working directly with college coaches and players. Additionally, all campers are invited to attend the women’s soccer team’s "friendly" match on Saturday, Aug. 17 at 2 p.m. and participate in a pre-game “walk out” ceremony with the players on the field. Boys and girls will be divided into three age groups: 5-7 years old, 8-11 years old and 10-14 years old. *Parents may request an alternate age group for their child based upon the parents' knowledge of the child's ability level and desired level of competition for the camp. Additionally, camp staff may decide to place a child up or down one age group if there is a major disparity to allow for a better experience, but this will be discussed with the parents before it is communicated with the child. The camp will be held on the soccer field on the Jackson College main campus…
