Moving right along

We now have steel framing up for the front addition! This is where we'll have a 300-seat flat floor auditorium when all is said and done. The new auditorium will be able to be divided into three separate rooms, giving us some much needed additional meeting space! Upstairs will be more room for our ever growing collection:

In other news, check out the progress on the other addition (facing our parking lot):

We have a concrete slab! Work is moving right along.

We snapped a photo this morning from the door into what once (and will be again) our circulation/check out area, and check it out! See that rectangle of gravel? That's where our new elevator will be!

Bye bye, Bricks. Hello, Tunnel!

Workers are now removing bricks from the front of the building to prepare for the addition!

The workers are saving as many bricks as they can for reuse. Also, this "tunnel" may not be very pretty...

... but it was constructed last week to protect everyone from the remote possibility of falling debris as we enter/exit the building.

Thank you for keeping up with our progress by reading our blog!
