They are just getting started but if you like used paperbacks this is the place to go! The library store will also take donations of your used books. They also need volunteers. And for those of you who like a portion of their purchases to go to charity, all of the Friends of the Library money raised from their book sales and memberships will go directly to the library in the form of programs, materials, and services.

It was quite enjoyable finally being able to walk around inside the new library. It feels wonderfully airy inside with the high ceilings and natural light. Can’t wait to see it filled with books!

I just found out that the city has posted a live webcam that allows anyone online to view the construction from the privacy of their own computer. Woo Hoo! It can even pan and tilt. Try it out and enjoy the view of the vast dirt plain! Check out the webcam here.

I suspect that maybe what the really want to do is keep an eye on the place to make sure no pesky teenagers get it in their heads to scale the fence and climb any trees.
