Construction photo update

Another week, another wall torn down. Lines have been painted to mark the future curved wall around the kids' area and south entrance.

The west wall has been removed from the community room:

The concrete around the foundations has also been removed, in preparation for the new boundaries and the outdoor patio around the south end of the building.

Construction photo update

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:

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.

Banned Books Week 2010

We're winding down our celebration of Banned Books Week. We created wall of books right by the north entrance, and filled it with eye-catching books and caution tape. Fiction classics, kids, teens, and nonfiction books have been banned or challenged in other library systems. We display them proudly!

Here at SDCL, we don't believe in banning books. In fact, we encourage you to check them out and share them.
