Views of the Summer Library Construction

Time to Unwrap and Summer Progress

While we all went away for the summer vacation, the construction crew was hard at work all over the building. Part of their efforts were in the library as the photos here show. There is now a new entrance to the library, adding some square footage to our usable space, and a new rug in the High School Room. More improvements are in the works. Still to come: new rugs for the Elementary Room, some new bookshelves for the office and HS Room, and a new photocopier to replace our old one.

Construction can lead to dust, and in our case lots of it. The plastic sheeting helped reduce the amount of dust on the shelves and elsewhere, but there is still plenty around to clear away. Unwrapping and heavy duty cleaning is already underway in the Elementary Room. Since construction is still going on in the HS Room, with the installation of the baseboard moldings, we are starting in the Elementary Room. When the HS Room is ready, shelves will be put in place, and the rest of the cleaning and decorating will take place. Anyone looking for an opportunity to volunteer? We are welcoming helpers for Monday through Wednesday, Aug. 31st through September 2nd. If you can join us between the hours of 10 and 4 pm. Come join us!

Library inventory was a big job. Despite a few set backs we persevered, and were able to get it all done before July. Mrs. Nunez, Miss Pedersen and I put in long hours for a solid week and thanks to tech support from Mr. Zuber we were able to finally scan in all the books and media items -- more than 17,000 in all. We had a terrific bunch of student helpers in Cappy, Gio, Rebekah A., Rebecca G, Sarah G., VJ, and Justin. A couple of parents pitched in in a fabulous way too -- thanks to Lori and Vinny Tunkel.
