Progress pictures

More work done on the collaborative nooks and the rest of the lower level.

New Juvenile area carpet installed.  Trust us, it looks SO much brighter in person!

Cool new lighting features installed over the amphitheater and the upper level YA section.

Staff offices are coming together.

The collaborative YA spaces are taking shape.

Work continues on the YA seating area.

The children's room is ready for new carpeting.

The seating area is starting to take shape!

While work continues in the YA section, our children's section is getting a face lift.  We love this new blue color and lighting!

The frames for the seating section have been added.

Our new dumbwaiter was installed.   This will help transfer books between the two levels, since our processing office will now be on the lower level.

Steel support for stairs installed

The start of the stairs...

Stairs!

Check out our new Makerspace area!  Framing of this space is now underway.


The framing of the new dumbwaiter is complete.  This will help staff move books from the main level to the lower level for processing and back up to the main floor, for you to borrow!


We've got the start of some new walls!

Things are happening on the lower level, too!
We're looking forward to how much this new window will open up the entry into the children's room!
The hole is complete!  We're ready for some stairs!
Demolition for the staircase continues.
The hole for the amphitheater style seating staircase has been cut.
Walls have been knocked down on the upper and lower levels.
A temporary wall is being put up to separate the construction area from the open library areas.
