With the white roofing materials, the blue tarps and the foggy background, the new and improved Richland Public Library resembles a polar ice field these days. In these pictures, it looks like a great place to ice skate! You can see how the clerestory windows will look and the upstairs reading area. The cold and blurry days have not slowed down our construction crew who have been hard at work finishing up the roofing and working on sheetrocking and insulating some of the office areas inside - they are beginning to look like offices now instead of jail cells.
The team, along with library staff will be taking a couple of extra days off this week to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. A reminder to library patrons - the library will be closed Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving, but will re-open Saturday morning at 9:30 if you are in need of a book.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and just think - next year we will have a brand new library to be thankful for! A note for the little ones in your family - Santa will make an appearance on Wednesday, December 3rd from 4:00-5:00 p.m. You may get a picture taken with Santa for a canned food donation or $2 per photo.

I've appreciated checking out this blog from time to time to see progress on the new library. I have to put my word-police hat on today for the November 25 posting, though, and note that instead of "celestory" the word should be "clerestory" for the windows that stick up above the roof. OK, word-police hat off. Thanks again for keeping us up to date. I'm looking forward to using the new library when it's complete.
Thanks for the comment! And please, feel free to word police our posts -- especially the ones written by Lisa.

Whatever! Spell check didn't catch it, so I must not be the only one who doesn't know how to spell it! Actually, I think it was up to my proof-reader to catch my mistake.
