Almost DONE!

At this morning’s construction meeting, the Contractor reported that there are about 2 weeks of work remaining until job completion. So the Library should be wrapped up and ready right after Christmas!

The builders have made tremendous progress during the last two weeks, with the second floor almost complete and the first floor rapidly moving along. Tile work, cabinetry, and finish coats of paint can be seen upstairs. Plumbing fixtures are being installed today! On the first floor, finish work is rapidly following. Carpet is due on December 22nd, so we know that the job must be concluding!

The photos being posted also show that the plywood wall that was in the temporary children’s room has been removed in order to connect the old and new buildings. This “Transition Room” will be given a cosmetic overhaul, but must await further fund raising for its complete renovation.

After the building is turned over, we will be installing the beautiful new furnishings we are having fabricated and have ordered. Then comes the big move! Let me know if you would like to be involved with shelving about 30,000 items! Teens and up, only, please, as this is heavy and demanding work!
