During its lifetime, it has been one of the busiest and <br />most heavily used buildings in the City. As an investment in maintaining this <br />important community building, parts of the exterior and interior are being cleaned <br />and re-painted. <br /> <br />Exterior surfaces, such as window sills, have gathered dirt and moss and will be <br />cleaned and re-sealed in August and September. Inside, many wall surfaces will be <br />re-painted to freshen up the surfaces that come into contact with the patrons and <br />staff most frequently. Interior painting is usually done in-house by the City’s <br />Facilities staff. However, the larger scale of this project required that the work be <br />awarded to a painting contractor. The contractor will do this work after-hours, so the <br />Library will remain open to the public during the project. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Meredith Fox, Project Manager, Facility Management <br />Division at 541-682-8829. <br /> <br />Videos Showcase Recreation Activities <br />Videos offer the perfect format to show off the action-filled programs of <br />Recreation Services. With videos growing in popularity and increasingly easy <br />and inexpensive to produce, Recreation Services includes them as a key <br />component of the division’s marketing efforts. <br /> <br />One recent video called “Dance” shows three- and four-year-olds in Pre- <br />Ballet and Hip Hop & Bop tots classes at Amazon Community Center. The <br />instructor talks about the goals of the class and parents comment about how <br />much their children have developed over the seven-week course. Besides <br />being entertaining, the video is testimony to how Recreation’s activities build <br />bodies and brains. <br /> <br />This and future videos will be available on the City’s and Recreation’s <br />homepages at Vimeo.com (search for “Eugene Recreation Dance”), and on <br />program Facebook pages. In addition, “Dance” has been converted into a <br />30-second public service announcement that is expected to air on locally <br />available channels this fall.
