There have been big changes in the last week. Framers have begun to erect the walls and what a difference it has made! You can now get a sense of what the back of the building will look like. This area is where the main adult collections will be housed. There will be comfortable chairs, book displays, and wireless internet throughout.

The excavation and site work for the new library is on schedule. According to Community Development Director, Leo Luczak “library excavation and fill is approximately 50% complete. The depth of the muskeg that had to be removed is also about as predicted.” Utility work will begin when the building pad is completed. It is anticipated that concrete work will begin in late July. The goal is to have the building enclosed by winter.
