Moving Shelves, Part II

While the library staff and some of the construction crew was busy packing books and taking down shelves, other members of the construction crew were putting up new shelving in the addition.  The new shelves are a pretty whitish-gray color, and are going to be really lovely!

Here's a photo of the new shelving going up in the Junior section.

This picture shows the shelving still in boxes waiting to be unpacked and assembled.

Here's a few more photos of the shelf assembly process.

Other parts of the construction process are still progressing as well.  The redwood ceiling that we've had in the old part of the building is in the process of being assembled in the new addition.  Part of the ceiling in the Young Adult area will have this wonderful wood.

The cabinets are being worked on in the circulation area.

And they're working on the doors throughout the building.  Here, they're working on the front entrance doors.

The yellow shelving from the old part of the library now needs to be installed in the Community Room.  As these need to be bolted to the floor for stability, we will only have a concrete floor in there for the summer.  Once the Adult Collection moves to its permanent home, carpet will be put down in the Community Room.

Here are a few photos of the shelves that have been moved over thus far.

And here are the members of the library staff milling around in the Community Room at the end of a very long day!
