Photographs

I know that I mentioned at the staff meeting that a local photographer, Mike Wood, had attended one of the "Empty Library Tours" a few weeks ago. He spent an hour and a half taking photographs and fortunately enjoyed a rare bit of sunshine which provided visual interest. I just thought you'd like to see a few of his "shots". I have all of them if you are interested. They are very striking and evocative. The picture second from the bottom appeared in the Weekly News this week. Mike would like to have a chance to photograph the library again after it is renovated and before we move back.

Back on Track

Well, I just had a look at the date of my last post and I must hang my head in shame. It's about time to fill you on where we are situated with the revitalization project. As you may or may not know, we have hired K and L Construction as our Contractor and the documents have been signed. This means that construction on the library will begin within two weeks. Paul Giza and I will be attending our initial meeting with K and L and the architects next Wednesday morning at the library.

It is time to begin choosing finishes and furnishings. We decided that we needed some assistance with this so we have hired In2Space, the same interior design firm that assisted us with the administration move. Kyle has come up with a concept and look he'd like to create and Jennifer from In2Space will be assisting us to "tweak" it. We will be enlisting the assistance of the Colour Committee to help us make decisions on things like carpeting, colours etc. We need to have all furnishings ordered by the end of July so it's going to be a busy summer.

More updates soon....
