Chris and Tiny of Meilahn Manufacturing in Chicago delivered seven new library study tables. One large table is in the AV viewing room at the east end of the south wing. The other is in the special collections room. Three slightly smaller tables are in the north reading area. These tables were designed by Sally Anglemyer of the Troyer Group with our interior designer, Ann Graber Miller. Don Steider and Cal Zehr helped with engineering the tables for stability. The study tables that are not in study rooms will have lamps with power and data receptacles.
Just as the new tables were coming into the library, the old study carrels from the library basement were being taken away by Jim Flora, maintenance supervisor of the Elkhart Christian Academy and his student helpers. The Academy will use our old carrels in the Resource Room where students receive individualized instruction. The old carrels just fit in the new elevator which made it much easier to get them up to the ground level. Here are the carrels in the gallery area outside the bookstore just prior to loading.
Meilahn is currently manufacturing cherry study carrels which will line the windows of the north wing of the library. We expect them to be delivered by the end of August.
Even with all these transitions, the library is still an inviting place to study.
