It's been an interesting week...

Well, I'm sure by now most of you have heard of our little episode with the small electrical fire in the temporary location. Thankfully, nothing was harmed, and the only problem we had was a bit of smoke. And a melted transformer, but that has been replaced, and all is (hopefully) well. Sigh. Is it July yet?

The good news is they are really slamming over at the real library. The breathtaking entrance facade is going up at a very rapid pace, and the feeling of open and welcome permeates that space. Even the guys working the site tell us how much they like the overall design of the building.

Some of the service desks are in place, including the Young Adult desk

and the main Children's desk.

The tack board for the Children's area is also going up, and plans are already underway to design some cool displays. The pendant lights that will hang over the story circle are in place, and have been unwrapped. The glass is gorgeous and comes in three colors:

Amber

Blue

& Clear


It all looks tres cool!

We also have WATER FOUNTAINS!!! No more will you have to get a tiny Dixie Cup at the front desk and use the bathroom water. Wait, that did not come out right. Let me rephrase. No more will you have to use the water from the bathroom faucet. Does that sound better?

The landscaping is continuing, with some of the new trees already planted along Swift Avenue, and some really pretty flowering things in the parking lot. (Can you tell I'm not the most knowledgeable about plant names?)

Lisa and I want to let all of you know how much we appreciate the comments about the blog, and encourage all to leave us a little note if you can. Thanks for all your support, and just think, we are just a few months away from leaving the temp space and moving back to our beautiful new space. Personally, I cannot wait to get back home!
