Moving the Adult Collection

Its been a monumental day, as we've moved the majority of our Adult Collection into the Community Room.  Our staff has worked so hard! And we appreciate the support of the many volunteers that have helped us.

This first view is from the Young Adult section of the older library, and looks towards the east.  You can see the huge pile of books we have to move!

Here's Ray, one of our librarians, loading a book cart with boxes for other staff members to take to the new section of the building. 

This photo shows Robin, another librarian, pushing the loaded cart to the new Community Room.

The Community Room has been a veritable beehive of activity today, with most of our staff unloading boxes and shelving the books.  Here we see Miranda and Anette.

Lorna and Valerie are diligently working on their respective shelves.

Teri and Amy are unpacking new boxes just arrived from the old part of the building.

Here's Melissa, working on her shelf.  We had to make sure all the books were in their proper order as we unpacked the boxes.

In this photo, Robin is arriving with another cartload of boxes.  He'll then use a cart to take all the empty boxes back to the older part of the library.  The Community Room is pretty cramped, and its important to keep the space as clear as possible.

Robin pushes an empty cart through the new Junior area, back towards the old part of the building.

 This is the hallway to the old part of the building.  Beyond the wooden wall, you can see our old west entrance doors.  The light way in the distance is the doors to the outside - our old front entrance.

At the end of the line is an ever-growing pile of empty boxes.  Here you can see Cathy, one of our librarians, emptying her cart to get it ready for a new load of boxes.

Tomorrow the adventure continues!
