It’s June already and the construction is well on it’s way.  The reading room outside the rare book room is taking shape, as is the classroom around the corner.  Also included in this reconfiguring is an office for our new Archivist and Book Arts Studio Coordinator.  But pictures will tell you more than words at this point so here goes!

The entrance to the new reading room.

The bones of the reading room.  There will be tables and display shelves.

And here is the classroom, first looking back toward the rare book room,  then towards the door to the workroom.

And finally the new office.  

May not look very exciting right now, but it will add so much to what we can do!  So this fall look for the sign on the new door and come and explore our new Uncommon space!
