Hard at work

What a difference a week makes...

Last week, what was the beginning stages of sheetrocking the offices has progressed to painting them. More glass has been installed with almost all of the Swift side of the building being glassed in. Yesterday, the windows and glass door in the library director's office were being installed, finishing up the glass work on the bookdrop side of the building.

Speaking of bookdrops, the first one has arrived and has been installed. There will be three slots where you may drive up to building and return your materials. There will also be three more walk up slots for you to return your materials. Like in the temporary location, all returns will be turned into a slot before you enter the library. The returns, sorting onto carts and mending of damaged items will all be done in the back of the library, freeing up valuable space up front where you can check out your items and have your questions answered without being interrupted by staff having to deal with the return of library items.

Upstairs, the framing is completed and as soon as the electrical is finished up and passes code, the sheetrock will begin going up there as well. It was a beautiful view with the sun shining in through the windows and the treetops rustling. I can't wait to kick back in a cozy chair by the fireplace and read a good book while sipping my sugar free hazelnut mocha!

In the temporary location, life continues as usual with storytimes, other children's programming, teen activities and of course lots of reading. You may have noticed there are not stacks and stacks of IRS forms to hand out due to the space limitations, but our "always there for you" reference staff will be happy to help you print them off the IRS website or you can print them from home as well - http://www.irs.gov/

Be sure and drive by once a week or so and watch the progress.

One more closer to spring and one day closer to moving "home".
