The library punch list grows shorter. That list of not-quite-finished items that typifies all significant building projects has happily lost some of its items; work continues on others. Electricians buried power cables for three new light posts to illuminate the concrete stairways leading down from the new south side door. That project, donated by the Library Foundation, then paused in early October awaiting delivery of the light posts themselves. The first half of the historical archives material, returned from storage in September, has been distributed on the new shelving of the Spencer Historical Room.
