Our new view
It’s been almost a year since we last posted, and at that time we’d been looking at other school libraries for inspiration. The design of our space went on as originally planned and is now a work in progress. Much of our print collection (75%) will be housed in compact shelving in the basement level. Before packing up all those books, though, our little staff carted about 2500 books up and down the stairs in cardboard boxes, moving Fiction and Biography upstairs, moving History down. On the last day of school, we started packing up in earnest, filling over 400 boxes with books and back issues of magazines. A week ago demolition began–walls have come down, carpets have come up, and the dirty work has begun. Check out the photos.
