IELTS Reading: true, false, not given

Here's an easy exercise to illustrate the difference between true, false and not given answers.

Passage:

Redevelopment of the library's main reading room is planned for the first week of November, and it is anticipated that the necessary building work will be completed during that time. All other areas of the library will remain open to the public as normal, but the main help desk will be temporarily located in the entrance hall. Members of staff will be on hand to direct you to books, journals or other materials that have been moved while the reading room is being refurbished.

Question statements (true, false or not given?):

1. The project to redevelop the reading room should take just one week.
2. Access to the rest of the library will be limited due to the building work.
3. Library employees will still be able to enter the reading room to find materials.

So I saw a lot of incorrect answers here, I'll post mine, with detailed explanations.
1. True
Exp: "planned for the FIRST WEEK of November, and it is anticipated that the necessary building work will be completed DURING THAT TIME.
(anticipated = should take just one week)

2. False
Exp: ALL OTHER AREAS of the library will remain OPEN to the public AS NORMAL.
(the rest of the library = ALL OTHER AREAS of the library).

3. Not Given
Library employees will still be able to ENTER the reading room.
Members of staff will be ON HAND to DIRECT you to books, journals or other materials THAT HAVE BEEN MOVED.
==> Staffs cannot enter the reading room, as it is being renovated, BUT, they can help you find the books that HAVE BEEN MOVED from the room itself. ==> the paragraph didn't mention this, so it is NOT GIVEN.
(on hand = available, like "wait on" for waiters).
