Most recent work day

Here's some great pictures from our most recent work day - we had a great group of volunteers and got a lot done!

Hard at work
Our fixed up tables!

The fiction section taking shape

This note says: "New books to be processed, 2001" guess what? the books are sitting in a cabinet

Insurance and the Grand Opening

Happy October!

Library Build has been quickly picking up steam this fall, here's some overview:

- We had our second to last Saturday work day: finished painting, continued shelving new and donated books, and even worked on fixing up the old tables!
- We're planning to hold ONE more work day to put the finishing touches on the space, and then....
- It will be time for the Grand Opening! The date is still TBD, but the principal and I are very excited!
- Our two library Fellows have been working in the library now for TWO weeks! Yes, two! They have been hard at work shelving, making the space work for them, and planning the awesome programs that they are going to be running in the program! I could not be more excited to see what they do this year in the library.
- In more mundane, but most exciting to me: Library Build's insurance is complete and we now have D&O as well as program insurance. The principal and I will be signing an MOU, which will go directly to the SRC (yes, really), and then Library Build can be an official and sanctified nonprofit working in the school district.

Stay tuned for more pictures of the library's transformation - its coming!
