Starting the Brickwork

Even though it was a cold and cloudy day, the construction crew got working on the exterior brickwork today.  Loads of bricks were brought in, and scaffolding went up all around the exterior. 

Heres a photo of the bricks being brought in with a tractor:

These next few photos show the scaffolding around the building, and the brickwork being done.

You can tell from these photos how great the new brickwork is going to look! They've done a fantastic job in finding brick that matches the existing building.  Once its finished, the new addition will blend in perfectly with the older, existing library.

New Windows

It was a momentous day today!  The construction crew began installing the windows.  Here's a few pictures:

Here's the crew working on the window in the new Staff Processing Room.

This is another angle of them working on the Staff Processing Room window.  You can see the Tabernacle outside.

This last photo shows the crew working on the west window in the new Community Room.  You can see the back of Madison Jr. High behind them.

These windows are so large, and there are so many of them, the interior of the new library will be very bright and beautiful!

Changes in the Staff Room

The second week of March has seen some big changes to the current Staff Processing area.  Our staff door and break room window have been taken out. Also, the old room that housed the book drop has been dismantled.  Here are a few "before" and "after" pictures that show these changes.

These are the before and after shots of the door.  You can see the wall to the book drop room on the back side of the refridgerator.  Here's what it looked like from the older side of the building:

They also removed the little room that used to house the book drop.  Here's what the staff room looks like now:
