Three Months Down

We have been in our temporary building for three months now!! That means there has been three months of work done at LB on Lamar Street. It seems every time we go over there, great changes have occurred. I took more photos, some of which will be on the next blog.

We continue to get good news from the people at Warren Scott. Now, this is not official...it's just a possibility...no wagering...it is possible the building may be finished before Thanksgiving. That does not mean we can move right back in. I still believe we will be moving during the month of December - that's if everything continues to work out.

Looking ahead a little - Lake Blackshear will look different when we reopen. We plan to move a few things around a bit. The plan right now is to have the YA (Young Adult) materials moved from the front wall next to the BIG window to what I call the cave. This is the area that housed the public access computers. This will give the young adults an area they can call their own. So, what about the computers? Where will they go? Hmmm...I'll save that for the next blog!!

Here are some of the more recent photos.






Looking out from the main lobby inside LB through what was the big window.


This area was the magazine/newspaper corner.



That's the Special Collection Room upstairs.



Brickword just outside the front door.




The open area you see will be the window of the children's library.



In the middle you can see the framing for a side door leading out of the arts and crafts area of the children's library. To the right of this door was the crack so bad we could see outside. The photo of that crack is in an earlier blog.







The trolley will be put back right here.




Looking down the front wall of the children's library.



This view is actually through what will be the big wall that separates the front door area from the main lobby.



Looking up through the Special Collections Room.



Looking down the front wall of the main lobby. This wall to the right is where the big front window will be.



Outside view




The front door area.
