Here are some pics of the addition going up:
The masons have their mortar delivered to them via heavy machinery--in large tubs. The machine to the left is setting the tub on the scaffolding for the mason. Pretty cool and no one gets hurt, except possibly the librarian who may or may not get out of the way fast enough. I did, though it took me a minute to realize it wasn't chasing me. And they say libraries are quiet, possibly boring places!
Here is the framework for our roof! Rivet guns are involved, and it is a little noisy.
So there you have the progress report for the addition. Now for the fun part! Answer this question, and win a fabulous prize or two!
How many bricks were ordered for this project? The contest will be open through out the weekend. The closest guess submitted by 9 AM Monday morning will win--this will give everyone an opportunity to guess. Please share this contest with your staff who may not have access to email or the blog on a regular basis.
And no fair asking the contractor. He will tell me.
Cheers,
Melody
You too can be a reading star, spreading the word about great books you have read with the community. Even if Amanda's baked delicacies have not enticed you thus far, you can now be immortalized in the fabulous new Staff Picks display in the lobby at Downtown.
So if you read or watch something you enjoyed, feel free to share with the rest of us. Your pick will lead Bookletters subscribers to titles they didn't know about.
And don't you love to see what everyone else is reading? I know I do! Plus I get to persuade people that books with talking animals are too for grown-ups! We can go on safari, see what a wombat really does all day, and see why it is hard to forget Sarah Marshall.
r, Amanda, welcomes reviews of videos/dvds that are in our library collections as well. So whether you enjoy documentaries or nonfiction, chick flicks or chick lit, true crime or film noir, share your picks with us!
