Holidays
Let yourself bathe in the beauty of the holiday decorations as you enter the library and spend time reading and relaxing. The holiday period tends to hurry by. The Garden Club members worked diligently in providing this display so it’s a pleasure when it’s soaked in and appreciated.
Construction
Plans are fully activated now that the architects are working full-time. Currently, you may notice that survey stakes are going into place. The architects are taking the conceptual drawings done to date and drawing up floor plans with exact square footage for what we hope to do in each area. We will still have two months when it seems that not much is happening but know that behind the scenes a lot is transpiring. These plans need to be well thought through as, once the blueprints are in progress, changes are costly. Our approach is to be sure all the ideas and evaluations are done during this schematic phase.
