Raising the Roof in the Old Section!

I have some wild photos for you today! During the last few days, the construction crew has been removing the roof from the old section of the building.  These first few photos were taken last Friday, and show the roof removed from the old hallway area.  This section will have a raised atrium roof to let in the light.

This photo was taken from the old audio books collection area.  You can see the remainder of Leslie Twitchell's lovely Idaho mural to the right.  Our old entrance doors are now blocked off.  They will eventually be an emergency exit.

These fun pictures were taken right down the middle of the old section.  If you keep heading down that hallway, you'd get to the new side of the building.

The walls are still coming down as well.  This is our old staff break room and restroom area.  This will eventually be public restrooms.

This photo was taken from the farthest north west corner of the old building.  The window is our east window where the Adult Collection used to be.  You can see the sunlight streeming down through the opening in the roof.

This is what our old entrance looks like!  You can see the monument to the previous library (the one that went in the flood) out the window.  This area is now a construction zone.  No one can be admitted here without a hardhat.

Here are a couple of views of the hole in the roof.

This photo was taken from the farthest south east corner of the old building.  Its looking through the entire youth sections.  Again, you can see the sunlight coming in through the hole in the roof.

This final photo shows our flagpole and flag that sits out in front of the old library.  With the construction flags, it looks like a carnival!
