Well, we made it an entire year at the temporary site and nobody has been killed or even maimed - quite an accomplishment since we are quite literally working on top of each other! Now, the countdown is on until we can move back "home". The weather has been nasty and as I was cleaning the snow off my car this morning and wondering "why didn't I take vacation today" it occurred to me that we are two thirds of the way finished with the renovation and expansion project. Yahoo!!
The Chervenell crew, along with Perfection Glass and Apollo, have been working their tails off trying to get the building enclosed. If you have driven past, you will notice that the windows on the main floor are almost completely installed on the Swift side and they are busy starting the install of the windows on the second floor. The new curbing and lighting has been completed in the parking lot and as soon as the weather breaks, the asphalt will be laid.
Inside the building, they are busy finishing up any straggling ductwork and piping. Sheetrock has been hung for of most of the offices and the study rooms, the skylights are also being finished and both elevators are now functioning.
Back at the Lee Blvd location, the library continues to be open even when the schools are closed, Hanford workers are off and the passes are closed! Come in and get your cold-weather reading materials and some movies to watch. Beginning Monday, January 5th, there will be a new checkout time for all videos and most of the DVDs. All new DVDs will still check out for one week, bus the others will now check out for three weeks. Ask at the check out desk for more details.
Happy New Year and only six or seven more months to go before the big move!!

It is exciting to follow the progress of our new facility. I watch every week's changes with anticipation and look forward to completion. Way to go staff and construction crew!
