Construction photo update

2010-10-09T13:58:00.000-07:00

We're now into the second phase of our construction. In our last construction photo update, the front desk had been relocated, a new self-checkout counter and book return had been installed, and work had just begun on the community room.

Now, nine months later, there have been even more changes. After our groundbreaking ceremony on September 16, construction began in earnest on the south side of the library.

It took about a week to prepare the old kids' area and south side of the building for the coming demolition.

Fences were placed around the south part of the building:

Once the interior wall was put up . . .

. . . demolition could begin on the south side of the building:

The Friends of the Library will endeavor to keep the Book Nook open as much as possible. For now, the bookstore is setup in the community room, accessible from within the library.

The kids' area has been relocated to the northwest corner of the building. The teen section is on the north-facing book shelves. The whole area is a bit smaller, so our materials collection has been temporarily reduced. Once construction is finished sometime next spring, the kids' and teens sections will be moved back to the southwest corner, and will be about double the size of the old space.

That's it for now! More pictures are available on our Flickr page.

Construction photo update

2010-01-21T13:37:00.000-08:00

It's only January, but much of the interior remodeling has been completed.

Here's the old circulation desk, back in December 2009:

And here's how the area looks now:

These are the shelves for the new books, Reader's Express books, Viewer's Express movies, and DVDs. There will be more shelves added soon.

The bookdrop side of the old desk:

It now looks like this:

The wall where the circulation desk used to be now has the inside bookdrop slots:

The circulation desk has been relocated closer to the south entrance. This will be the future middle of the building. The second phase of construction later this year will expand the south half of the library, enlarging the community room, kids' area, and more.

The new circulation desk:

The old north entrance area:

The new self checkout desk:

These are our self checkout machines. They're really simple to use. All you have to do is scan your card, set your stack of books/music/whatever on the mat, and the machine checks it out for you and prints a receipt. Nifty!

In December, the community room looked like this:

It's been cleaned up considerably:

However, there's still a long way to go before it's finished. The work to expand the community room will begin in a few months.

Construction photo update

2009-12-31T13:40:00.001-08:00

The library may be closed, but work continues on the interior renovations.

Here's a view of the entrance. That's the new self checkout desk under the tarps.

This used to be the circulation desk. For now, you just see the back office, but soon there will be displays for books'n'stuff.

Power and data cables are needed for the improvements to the computer room and new circulation desk, so the floor's been dug up.

Work continues in the community room, too. The kitchen wall has been knocked out. These changes are the first stage of enlarging the room. When it's all done, it'll be bigger and better.

That's it for now. More pictures will appear on the SDCL Flickr page.
