Installing Water Pipes for the New Sprinkler System

The new Madison Library District building will be completely up-to-date with all the latest safety regulations. This will include a sprinkler system throughout the building in the event of a fire.

In order to get the water pipes in the correct places for the new sprinkler system, the construction company had to knock a hole in the southwest corner of the existing building. This hole just happened to coincide with our Young Adult section of the library. Vivian, our Children's and YA Librarian, moved and rearranged all the books in that corner in order to accommodate the construction. It was quite an effort on her part, and she did a tremendous job!

Our parking lot also was involved with this process. A trench had to be dug so that pipes could be connected from the city water main to the new construction. The parking lot between the library and the tabernacle was closed for about 10 days while this process was completed.
