Terryberry Branch - One Elevator Out of Order

The main elevator at Terryberry Branch is not working. Members who need an elevator will have to enter through the Mohawk doors (which have a ramp) and use the elevator in the middle of the building instead of the elevator by the parking lot doors. We're working to get it fixed quickly.
