Big changes at the library! With so much thanks to an army of volunteers, staff, and board members, the library was packed up and ready for renovations in an amazingly short time. With breathtaking speed, volunteers came in and packed up the books according to a system that will let us locate any book and the shelf where it belongs after we come back. Honestly, I am so impressed with it all. We are truly blessed to have so many amazing and capable and generous friends here.
It was kind of like a party atmosphere when the packing started. We had packed up office and administrative stuff the previous week so we could help out wherever needed. There was a snack table (now I get cravings for Pop Corners) and plenty of water. Kids did excellent work not only as book packers, but as box set-up experts and as very fast messengers between upstairs and down.
It was great to hear all the creative conversations that went on. I was definitely energised by the whole experience. Now the library waits for its new look. There will be interior painting as well as the exterior work. There will be new carpets and flooring. There will be a whole new look for the e room, and I’m pretty sure the library layout will have a whole new flow.
Now we’re looking forward to see how the pop-up library will be. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun!
See you in the stacks!
