Here is the latest library news from John Gillum:
North Village Branch Library Replacement Project: The construction site for the new North Village Branch Library continues to be a veritable beehive of activities these days. Exterior stucco and interior plaster work are ongoing, while the roofing sub-contractor is in the process of completing the final roof panel installation and preparing to start installation of the exterior metal wall panels. The irregular surface of the Durisol block wall has admittedly complicated the flashing of windows and is expected to be a factor in the installation of the metal wall panels as well, but the design team is working closely with the contractors to mitigate the effects of this challenge on the project schedule. Meanwhile, the interior metal framing and installation of wood blocking to support book shelving is underway, as is the installation of the spiral mechanical duct.

Thank you to the Social Committee for organizing a great event for us. The weather was much better than last year and we even had a bit of a breeze to help cool us off.
Everyone have a great holiday weekend.
