May 28th

We're getting closer and closer to having our move completed.  Today, I thought I'd take you through the front doors for the first time. 

So here we are, entering from the foyer.  You can see the curve of the circulation desk to the left.

Today, the construction crew is working on putting the circulation desk countertops on.  They're filling in the spaces and sanding it smooth.

 

Our new signage has been installed.  Here is the sign for the Young Adult area.  The shelving for this area is almost completed.  You can see the shelving we'll use for the DVDs right under the sign.

Here is the sign for the Children's area.  The shelving for this area has now been completed.

Our Children's librarian has had her desk installed.  She's now in the process of moving her things.

The tops to the shelves in the children's area have now been installed.  The shelving looks so nice!

Here is the hallway to the Community Room / Adult Collection area.  We've decided this is probably the best place to put the Adult New Titles.  We're going to use our same kiosks from the older part of the building.

This photo shows the signage for the Community Room.  All our signs are in a lovely dark brown that contrasts nicely with our walls.

The glass doors have now been installed on the Junior Activity Room.  We will be able to close those doors when the children are having noisy activities.

This photo shows the inside of the Junior Activity Room.  We still need to have the flooring installed in here, but otherwise, this room is finished.  You can see the new "Community Room" sign through the doors.

Back on the older side of the library, we've installed a temporary book drop in the emergency exit door on the south side of the building.  We'll have some signs put out so you can find the book drop.  Our book drop will open on the 1st of June.

We've got almost all the collection moved to the new part of the building.  You can see how bare its looking in the older part!  We just have a few boxes left to move.

This is the north side of the older section.  You can see the public computers at the left.  They'll get moved over in a day or two.  All the shelving in this section is now dismantled and gone or installed in the new addition.

In our staff processing area, the move is continuing.  Here we see Teri and Anette diconnecting Teri's computer so it can be moved to the new section.

Most of the processing area still needs to be moved, but progress has started!

Here is a photo of our new processing area.  Everyone is trying to get their desks arranged.  The old computers are being moved over. We're waiting on new computers for the staff members who didn't have one in the old building.

Ray and Mary are moving all our office supplies into their new home.

Here we see Robin, Teri and Valerie working on their desks.

We're so close to being done! We're all excited.
