First interior shots!

The workers are making last-minute preparations for the monolithic pour of the first floor slab, scheduled to take place tomorrow.


This is the first time our photographer has been able to enter the new addition.





We're looking at plastic now, but just imagine what it will look like when the walls are in place!



Scaffolding has been erected around the exterior of the building as preparations are made for the arrival of the masons.

Third-floor slab is poured and work progresses on the roof

The monolithic pour of concrete for the third-floor slab of the new addition is taking place. This is the second of three monolithic pours scheduled for the project.

The staging area for the heavy construction equipment and materials will be the future parking lot. The new library's shared parking with the Pilgrim Congregational Church will more than double the number of parking spaces that were available at the old library.
