Re-stocking!


Great news... The PCs were installed yesterday and today my (excellent) volunteer and I started restocking the non-fiction stock. I was glad that the calculations had been successful and we had ample space. The sequencing does seem logical, well to me anyway - trust me I'm a Librarian!

The next task will be putting the fiction into order and shelving this, but for various reasons (too trivial to go into detail here) won't happen until the week after next.

It's starting to look good though, isn't it?

Installation Almost Complete

A lot of progress has been made today - all of the shelving has been built and bolted together and the computer desking has also been added. There have been problems with the listening post - this refuses to open to allow us to put CDs in! The pin boards arrived which were the wrong size - but quickly rectified by sending a courier with the replacements. I was amazed at the speed these arrived. The finishing touches will be added tomorrow, such as building the book returns trolley and some wall mounted shelving... and hopefully we'll find a solution to the non-opening listening post.

The whole library is looking really good. I'm so pleased that it is progressing so well.... and the colours do work after all that uncertainty (and sleepless nights) earlier in the year.

Shelving & Furniture Beginning to be Installed... The Library is starting to look like one!

This day has been been waiting to happen for a long time. After 9 or so months I am finally seeing the plans being put into practice. The furniture and shelving was delivered this morning, and throughout the day it has been assembled and put into place. It should all be finished tomorrow afternoon.



Our trusted Electricians are back adding an extra network port, cabling and sockets for the library counter.
Shelving is beginning to take shape

Trust these characters to barge in right in the middle of the installation just to test out the "pebbles"!!!. I'll forgive them this time, but if I find any coffee stains anywhere I'll know who to blame!
