Thanks to all staff and patrons who participated in our Snapshot Day on Tuesday, April 20.

Take a look at our Snapshot Web site to see statistics, comments, photos, and a video that pulls it all together.

Library Snapshot day is an initiative of ALA that, "provides a way for libraries of all types across a state, region, system or community to show what happens in a single day in their libraries."

On the south side addition (Student Success Center):
-- Steel is being erected and the anticipated completion for the steel is 8/13.
-- All concrete foundation work has been completed along with the majority of the underground sanitary, fire sprinkler and electrical work.
-- The closure of the lane has been approved and the lane will remain completely closed until they are through with major, consistent deliveries for the building; the exception is that the lane and sidewalk will be reopened for home football games.

On the north addition:
-- The underground storm and sanitary work has been completed as well as the concrete foundations.
-- The addition has been formed and a porous fill will be placed. Then the floor boxes and the under slab electrical will be installed.
-- A vapor barrier will be placed and then they will proceed with the pouring of the slab probably by the end of next week.

On the interior renovation:
2nd floor Circulation/Microforms:
-- The carpet tiles have been received and the carpet will be completed the first of next week.
-- The remaining countertop materials and panels will be completed by end of this week.
-- The microforms area has been completed except for paint and electrical touchups and cleaning. The doors are expected by 8/9.

Within the next two weeks, the installation of some permanent walls and some temporary walls with the existing library will be taking place to begin the process of separating the construction areas from the public spaces. Some of these walls will be on the second and third floor as well to prepare for the infill of third floor and the construction of the new steps. There will be access to all offices.

The new rail for the handicapped ramp on the west side of the building will be installed by 8/3.

Thank you for your patience during these developments!
