Happy Halloween to all!
Over at the construction site they are plugging away at enclosing the building. Right now, we are waiting on the delivery of the windows. Once those get in, they can put up the final panels and the building will be ready for winter. They are also still working on grading and finishing the parking lot before winter sets in. (Judging by today's weather, they don't have much more time left!)
The inside of the building is getting pretty full right now with all the supplies and equipment they are stockpiling for winter. It's pretty exciting to think that we are about 9 months (we hope) out from moving back. We've been in this spot for almost a year now, and are beginning to feel like we've been on a long journey. We've had fun and it's been exciting to be in a different place, but home is where our heart is, and we can't wait to move back there.
A big thanks to everyone who has been so gracious about the construction. Our library has been on the same spot for 30 plus years, and we've seen that spot grow from a quiet out of the way location to a very busy center of the town with many different medical and school buildings that we've watched grow up around us. It's quite exciting to be in such an exciting part of town!
Remember, we are still hard at work over in this location (1270 Lee Blvd.) On Saturday (tomorrow!) we will have a workshop on creating a story for children. On the 4th of November, the kids will have their own election and get to vote for their favorite Washington Children's Choice Picture Book award title. November is Native American Heritage Month, and on the 6th we will have a local storyteller sharing Native American stories and artifacts at 7:00pm. So much to do in this small building -- just wait until we have our own space again!
