After several months of furniture and computers moving around the first floor, we are pleased to say the construction is done. The first thing people notice is the brightness and spaciousness of the Internet Computer area. Then they realize that the Library has a cheerfulness that is reflected by the surrounding and the staff.
The remodeling project began on October 1, 2006 when we closed off the old Magazine Reading Room and began demolition of that space and the adjoining office space. The dark paneling was removed from the walls, and the entrance to the Reference Room was opened up with the removal of the heavy doors.
By the end of the year, the walls had been painted a light off-white, carpeting laid in the Internet Computer and Reference Desk area, and the Computers returned to their original area. In early January, the Reference Desk had been relocated to the opposite wall and staff began to move into their new workspace.
Now we are remodeling the old office spaces that some of our staff occupied for so long to provide a new Activity Room for the Library to use for programs and work on a new small meeting room for programs and meetings will start soon.
