Beautifying the Inside


Construction is moving along.  As you can see from this month's photos, the glass wall on the front of the building is almost complete.  I am longing to see the finished product - just clean glass with no trucks, no temporary exteriors.  It is going to be incredibly beautiful, from inside and outside.  

Inside the building, the mechanicals, electric and plumbing systems are mostly complete, and work is starting on some of the finishes.  Some of the cabinetry has been installed in the reference area.  The golden finish on the wood matches the existing wood finishes in the old building. 

Paint on the walls makes a huge difference.  Some of the space is much brighter wearing its new colors.  Rich reds and blues in the children's and young adult space increase their appeal.  

I'm looking forward to seeing what next month brings - until then, stay warm! 


 I can't wait to see this wall finished - it is going to be gorgeous!

Color on the walls gives us a sense of the finished space.

Bathrooms on each level! Wahoo!


Young Adult area - this will be glassed.
