Library Settles Into Its Old Home

By |

The fresh new feel of the library, along with the expansive public space, continues to impress, and patrons are learning the new facilities and the new locations of old resources. New chairs and tables have been arriving, and small details, like two broken joints in the ramp handrails, are being corrected. One big surprise was the broken window discovered on July 20 as librarians arrived to set up for a Saturday morning magic show in the children’s room. One layer of one of the big new double-pane windows facing Main Street had shattered, evidently from an external impact; the inner pane was still in place. The show was shifted to the gallery, a new window was ordered, and all was back to normal several weeks later.
