The shelving and furniture installation has begun!

A skylight on the south side of the library. The area to the right will hold 8 rows of shelves for non-fiction books.

Carpenters were busy this day installing the benches in the youth study area.

Interior view of the octagonal local history room.

This shows the "bridge" leading over the stream and into the children's area. Note the mural on the wall to the right (it will display a forest scene with animals), and the storytime house/room modeled after the Thompson House on East Allegan Street in Otsego.

The mural wall has the beginnings of a tree that covers the staff doorway.

The main hallway leading to the circulation desk area.

The front doors are installed and operational!
