Didn't think much was going to happen today!

Not a lot went on in the library this morning, and actually I wasn't expecting anything to happen for the rest of this week as the electricians are due back in a couple of weeks to finish off and install network ports for the library counter and the carpet fitter is due in next week. I just happened to pop into the library this afternoon and to my surprise both an electrician (Adam) and carpetfitter (Lionel) were in. The carpet is being pulled up leaving behind what I'm told is a non-toxic dust and the network and electricity sockets will also be finished.

Building work complete!

Forget all those stereotypical views of builders that you may have. This builder has delivered not just on time, but ahead of schedule We're now able to get on with removing the carpet, the decorators are due in next week, then the new carpet is being laid and after that the library furniture is being installed.

I'm afraid this Librarian is jetting off abroad again. This time it is officially abroad - I'm going to France with 43 Year 8 students (and 4 other members of staff I may add) on Monday and hopefully when I get back on Friday the walls will have transformed to a cream colour and the doors changed from black to blue.

Le French Connection!

On returning from the Isle of Wight (or as one of my friends commented "going abroad") we seem to have developed a French theme here in the library. I have a sneaky suspicion, our builder Mr Keeble does actually enjoy having his photo taken. Here he is again by the recently re-sited heating pipes that were moved yesterday evening. Otherwise the majority of the building work is now complete - the plastering has been finished, pipes boxed in and the door has been given an undercoat.

Someone is proud of his cement work...

Measuring up for the cabling ready for the network ports...

Finishing off with adding new electricity sockets for the new PCs ...
