A new lounge is about to emerge from the old library reading room. The tile is completed in the kitchenette area where the current periodicals display used to be. The unit to the left is an island that will be out at the edge of the tile. The snack and pop vending machines will go into the space where the island is now. Some bistro tables with high stools have been ordered for this area.These are dark pictures because most of the lights are out of commission. The light fixtures are being modifie
d to use more energy efficient lamps. The lamp bowls are waiting for the new units to arrive. Notice the new fan unit on the left wall. All the old fans have been replaced. Last year, our last winter in the old library, only three of the eight original 1958 fan units still worked!At the far end of the room agas fireplace has been installed in the corner that will become a cozy gathering spot in cold winter weather. It will have a timer switch. The day after this photo was taken, the stone face was put on the fireplace. It looks like there is still some trim work to be
done.Tables and chairs from the old library and round tables from the currrent will be used to furnish this new space. Some new couches have been ordered. The new lounge should be ready in January. Watch for more pictures as this space develops.
