New Year.... New Building



Happy 2009 to all Richland Public Library customers! Lisa & I took 2 weeks off this holiday season due to various vacations and illness, but we're both back now and looking forward to some new blogging!



On our last visit to the site, it was pretty impressive inside. Drywall is just about complete on the first floor offices and study rooms and on the second floor that houses the administrative offices. The third floor, which will be browsing and fiction, is basically one big room, so almost no drywall is needed in there.



The windows are installed on part of the lower floor, and we are awaiting delivery for the third floor windows. The next exciting outside installation will be some metal panels that should be coming in the next few weeks.

We were thisclose to getting the first pour of the asphalt, but then came the snow and that had to be put on the back burner. However, curbing and lighting in the parking lot are completed, and as soon as things dry out we will begin working on the parking lot.



We have survived the deluge and winds in the temporary space with a minimum of leaks and backups, and are excited to think that in about 7 months or so, we will (hopefully!) be back home where we belong!

Huge Huge Huge thanks to Chervenell and all the wonderful, patient, kind, intelligent, and committed people who are working on this project. We know we are in very good hands with you, and appreciate you to no end!
