Coupeville Library Expansion--Week 22

Week 22 saw many changes in the library expansion project as finishing work is becoming the work of the day. It is exciting to see so many changes and to realize that completion of the project is not that many weeks away. Below are several photos showing the progress.


This view is just inside the main entrance in an area that will be used by the Friends of the Library. That middle cabinet is a rolling cart that can be pulled out from its cabinet location.

This is a view of some of the lights that point upward in the stacks area. Power is on in the building.

These "lights" are really not lights at all but are the four solar tubes bringing sunlight in from the outside. They are located above the check out area in roughly the center of the Library and bring in lots of natural light.

This a photo shows one of the rest rooms -- now essentially complete.

The fireplace in the adult reading room has been installed. The plastic will protect it while the remaining trim and carpeting is installed in this room.




We have water fountains! These water fountains are located just inside the rear entrance of the expanded library.



This photo shows the gate that rolls down from the ceiling to close off the main library from the entrances and from the community room. The community room is seen in the background on the other side of the gate.


This view is a photo of the front entrance to the library. Only window and door trim remains to be installed.



Workman worked during the week to grade the area behind (west) of the library to create this water retention pond. The area in foreground is covered with a straw mulch but will likely become a grassy area when the weather improves this spring.
Finally, this is a photo of the library from the north side. It will be the view people at the wharf or in downtown Coupeville will see.
