New Cabinets! and the Carpet is Almost Done.

This has been a big week for us!  The carpet is coming right along, the new cabinets are being installed, and many fixtures have arrived.

These first two pictures show the carpet for the atrium.  It's arrived and in the process of being installed.

These next few pictures show the circulation area.  We're getting lots of cabinets for all the things we need to store.

These photos show how the carpet is progressing in the JR and YA areas.  Most of it has been laid, with the exception of that strip on the far side of the photo.

Here is the Jr. Activity Room.  There's been some discussion as to whether this room should be carpeted or not.

This next photo shows our new drinking fountains.  They're between the two public restrooms, down the hallway to the Community Room.

These next photos show the kitchen cabinets.  We're going to have a nice kitchen off the Community Room!  As you can see, we're just waiting for the counter tops.

Here is a photo of one of our staff bathrooms.  All the fixtures have arrived!

Our director, Judy Dewey, liked her cabinets in the old building so much, that they installed them for her in her new office.  They do look very nice with the new counter tops!

Here's a first look at the entryway to the new building.  There's two sets of doors, with a space in between.  Here will be the inside book drop, as well as the community bulletin board.

And, finally, here is the new view of the library as you enter the front doors.  The circulation desk is to the left, and the YA area is straight ahead.  You can see the light from the atrium streaming into the lobby area.

More Progress to the Interior

The interior is seeing some exciting additions.  Some of the carpet has arrived and is in the process of being installed. The installation of the ceiling tiles is almost finished.  Its starting to look like a completed building!

These first two photos show the atrium.  The paint and ceiling tiles give it a finished appearance.  The first photo shows the lighting fixtures as well.

This second photo of the atrium area is pointing east.  The unfinished wall you see is where the Library Foundation Book Store will be.  There will be a corridor leading back to the older section of the building.  The older section, after its remodel, will house the Adult collection.

This next series of pictures shows the beginning installation of the carpet in the Junior and Young Adult areas.  Its quite a stretch of ground to cover!

This next photo is of the staff processing area.  The work here is on hold for a few days - the Ph ballance of the concrete is preventing the crew from laying the flooring here.  We'll have a rubber-type floor for utility purposes, and if the Ph ballance is off, it ruins the glue.

Here are some views of our staff break room.  We've had lockers and a coat rack installed.  The second photo shows the lovely cabinetry in the room.

 

These last two photos show the progress on the Community Room.  The ceiling has now been completed.
