More Changes to the Interior of the Old Library

In order for the construction of the new section to progress, the construction crew had to remove part of the ceiling in the existing building. Here are some "before" and "after" photos to show how things have changed.

First we have the Young Adult area.  This was the easiest for the construction crew to do, as the ceiling was made up of tiles that could be removed.  The first two pictures show the ceiling as it was:

And here is the ceiling now, with the tiles removed, and the fixtures hangin loose.

These next pictures show the staff office at the back of the old building, in the north corner of the Young Adult area.  It was a more difficult job, as the ceiling in this small office was solid.  The construction crew had to do more work to get this ceiling out:

And here's what the ceiling in the little office looks like now:

Last, the staff area in the north corner of the old building was also affected.  Here is a photo of the staff break room.  Its located just off of the yellow door that was by the old book drop on the west side of the building:

And here's the break room now with the ceiling tiles removed:

So, lots of chages are happening!  It feels a bit like we're on the set of a movie, and the roof has been left off on purpose.  We're looking forward to our new building, and our new LARGE staff area!
