Vacating the Old; Entering the New

The old Conference Room is empty now. Ted Koontz took the last sections of steel shelving including the two frames still in this photo.

While I was in Kansas, Lois Longenecker and Craig Neufeld almost emptied the old library workroom. Brent Koehn's work area is still in the back. His new worktable will be ready by the middle of next week so hopefully he can move in at the end of the week.

Lois and Craig are settling in to the new library. This is the student work area. The service desk is through the windows to the left. This long counter has built in shelves at each end for books in progress. There is just enough space at the bottom for the carts to fit inside the shelf. The workroom is so spacious that we will not have to move carts out of the way to get around the furniture. Hooray!

Sharon Baker, AMBS volunteer, is prepared to serve YOU at the service desk. Oops! What's that stack of books to the left? We're going to have to keep up with the shelving to avoid unsightly piles of books visible above the beautiful service desk. Notice the slot in the service desk to the lower left? This is the book drop. Books slide into at receiving area behind the desk so they don't clutter up the space on the desk. Such efficiency!
