The library is open! While work continues on the first floor and central area, we are providing services on the second floor only. A protective wall wraps around the center of the space, separating the library from the construction that's still happening. Our new teen room is providing space and computers for patrons of all ages, and we've moved fixtures and retasked shelving in order to provide a selection of adult fiction and first floor materials for checkout. It's been a fun week, seeing regular patrons and showing people around the space to see what they can expect for the next several weeks as the project finishes up.
On the first floor, bathrooms are being gutted, and the lobby and vestibule are taking on a new shape. The Checkout Desk has been removed, waiting for a new piece of furniture. On the second floor, concrete has already been poured to create the new square footage, and a new staircase has been put in place.
Our team has been fantastic, always game to move shelving, furniture, and books, plus being so flexible in providing service in new ways. We are still enjoying working with McKee, who have been wonderful partners in this project.
