Office Open House and Checking in With Paula

This morning we had an open house for the new director and administrative assistant's offices. These offices have been a few months in the making, and look great. Marje brought a bunch of goodies for us to snack on while we perused the new digs.

We even had a semi-official ribbon cutting to commemorate the occasion. Now Honore and Paula can work in peace, without the staff constantly coming over to check out their new offices.

And speaking of Paula, since you're all clamoring for an update on what she's up to...

Even though she wasn't here, it didn't stop us from ducking under the ribbon on her door and poking around her office a bit. We'll have to have another ribbon cutting ceremony for her when she gets her car fixed, I suppose.

Construction Update Part 2

I gave you all a tiny peek last time at the construction going on near the reference desk, but today we'll dig a little bit deeper. Over the past two days, painters have been working non-stop to get the walls done. Here is a quick peak through the window of what will soon be our directors office.

A bit further down we can see the two future quiet rooms. These rooms will be available to groups who want to study together and not disturb the other patrons, a service long overdue for our library.

With all the work they're putting in, it's a good thing the painters had some Rockstar Energy drink to keep them motivated.

We're still a long way off from being done, but progress is being made every day. Or at least most days.

Construction Update

You may be wondering what the heck is going on in the old magazine reading area, and with good reason. We're in the process of moving our Directors and Administrative Assistant offices to the other side of the library in order to make room for more room in the Young Adult and Kids departments. We'll also be adding an office for our brand new public relation position. We're still a ways off from having these offices done, but here's a sneak peek through the plastic into the construction zone, looking a little bit pink, but trust me, it really isn't.
