While we're enjoying our new building, the work progresses on the old section. They are in the process gutting the interior, and putting up new supports and wall segments.
This first photo shows the length of the old building. We're looking from the old staff area through the former General Collections (Adult) area to the east windows.
Its not everyday that you see a construction vehicle in the middle of a library! This one is helping to install the new support beams for the clerestory ceiling which will run down the old hallway. You can see a gaping hole where the former front doorway was.
Outside, two of our wonderful construction crew go by, discussing the work.
We're in the old General Collections section looking south. You can see where the new support beams are going up.
We're looking up into the new construction area. In the background, you can see the outside walls of the atrium. The new clerestory roof will be the same height as the atrium roof.
This final picture looks like it was taken outside, but we're still in the old section of the building. I couldn't get any closer because of the construction work going on, but I wanted to show you where the new Library Foundation Bookstore is going to be. You can see the wall supports are now installed, and it will take up most of the space that used to be the Young Adult area.
