A little over a third of the book collection has been moved into the beautiful new shelving area. We’re moving the books backwards so we can adjust shelves as we go. We also started in several places at once (which involved a lot of arithmetic and measuring) so that we can have multiple moving teams running at once.

Carpeting and ceiling tiles are currently being installed in the department meeting rooms and frames for glass walls and doors for all of the study rooms are being installed. Cement will be poured tomorrow, Saturday, and Tuesday on the plaza.

Filled book shelves! Notice the bamboo on the end of the ranges. The cardboard on the bottom is there to protect the bamboo from the book carts.

Framing where the glass walls will go. These are the three study rooms south of the quiet area, and they will have glass in another week or so going from this frame up to the gray beam-looking parts in the ceiling
