"Another Brick in the Wall"


Renovation is well underway in the old space of the library!  We have even begun seeing the studs for walls and sheetrock going up in places!  Here is your very first tour of the new space!!!

Upstairs- Children's and Teen's

This is going to turn into a wonderful reading cove in the children's room.  Who knew the old staff room closet could become something so wonderful!?!

This is the future lounge area in the BRAND NEW TEEN ROOM!  (YAY!!!!!!)
It will include wonderful lounge seating, a TV, DVD player and a Wii 

Future Teen Librarians office phase 1...
(Can you guess what part of the old library this is? Tea Party anyone?)

Future Teen Librarians office phase 2...

Honorary Architect (Me!)

The metal soffit framed here will be located right above the new Children's Information Desk (phase 1...)
(I caught this guy doing a little dance- he was very excited about the new space!)


Phase 2...


As requested!!  Lots of study areas and group spaces

Quiet Study 1 (for 1-2 people)

Quiet Study 2 (for 1-2 people)

Group Study #1 (for up to 10 people)

That door in the back leads to Group Study #2 (for up to 12 people)



Downstairs- Adult Collection, History room and Computer lab!

Walking in the front door you see right away the computer lab and the history room. 
To the left of it is the Reference Desk and Office.
(Sorry about the fuzz- it's a little dusty in there!)

The future area of Adult Fiction


This is the old coffee bar area!  Hello new windows!


This is the future location of the Circulation desk.  It will fit exactly below the framed soffit.


When the weather outside is frightful- no worries, stay in your car and drive through our brand new
drive-up book-drop!



Plus the old building needs some new windows too.
