An official word from our Library Director:

"Please be sure to view the photos of the milling of the sycamore (or London Plane) trees that were removed from the site. The wood is very beautiful, pinkish, and very wet. We are milling in a way that will accommodate a number of uses but do not yet have a firm plan.

Chervenell is moving quickly on the building. Walls are down, a portion of the roof has been removed, and trenches are being cut into the concrete slab. Digging for the elevator shaft is also in progress. The site is very dirty, very noisy, and very active.

Other activity includes a review of the data and power runs and a fine-tuning of the overall plans for data and telephone, aka low voltage.

Our squirrels have moved on to quieter accommodations but several mallard pair have taken up residence, enjoying especially one of the very large puddles in the parking lot. Spring is on the way."

Thanks Ann!
