Here is the latest library news from John Gillum:
North Village Branch Library Replacement Project: The new North Village Branch Library construction site is an exceedingly busy place at the moment, with a veritable small army of subcontractors in residence and vying for space to perform the work of their particular trade on the emerging building. Roofers, masons, plasterers, electricians, plumbers, door and window installers, framers, steel workers, mechanical installers and other tradesmen are all very much in evidence at the location these days which is causing the building to take shape seemingly right before our eyes. In the next several weeks, it is anticipated that the roof and metal paneled walls, the rock walls and the stucco walls will all be substantially completed, along with the installation of doors and windows.
The interior framing is now approaching completion and the installation of drywall is consequently anticipated to start shortly. Also expected in the very near future will be the erection of the entrance canopy and installation of the parking lot pole lights. With the present bustle of ongoing construction activities at the North Village Branch Library site, it is easy for the project management team to be confident that the scheduled opening date of January 24, 2009 for the new facility can and will be met.
