It's Saturday!!! And we're here...at the library!!! Not home sleeping or watching football or whatever, but here. Actually it's fine. It's interesting to watch the library take shape. We have a different look. We've moved things around just enough to make things look different. I have mentioned the new Young Adult (YA) section before. It will be located where the public access computers used to be. The computers were moved out into what used to be the reference section. Reference has been consolidated and moved to the back corner of the library. The videos and audio books which were in the front lobby across the room from the magazines are now located behind the computers in the old reference section.

In the Children's Library, the biggest change is in the back arts and crafts room. No longer is there a glass window wall to separate the trolley from the arts and crafts room. It is all one big room. The trolley has been moved away from the window and is now located a few feet away against the west wall. This opens up the front window for more light. What a difference!! Our Children and Youth Coordinator Beth Tanner can now use the big room to do more things. She can always have story time but can also show movies and have other activities. This will be a great place. The children's library will be opened up a little as we move one set of reference shelves out. It's subtle, but effective.

Today the movers will be bringing books that go in our compact shelving in the back. Yesterday, last night they brought 22 carts of books and have 23 more to load up, bring over and unload to the shelves. Then they will begin with the children's library.

Well, I just realized I have not taken any photos of the arts and crafts room, so off I go. You'll see them below.

More later...


Just a look at both top and bottom or fiction and non-fiction.

The new computer area!!


The video and audio book area behind the computers.


Another look at the computers.


The Young Adult area so far. Remember, the computers used to be back here. We called it the cave.


The Trolley Room or rather the Arts and Crafts Room. Moving the trolley really has opened up the room.


This photo is taken from the window of the old trolley room. Note there is no glass wall anymore.


Area to the left of the trolley. This is where movies might be shown.


From the cabinets back towards the window - much more room. There is still some work to do here. There will be flooring put down next week. We are excited about this room!!
