Even though it was scheduled to take this whole week, our movers got everything into the new building on just Monday and Wednesday! We finished putting the last book on the shelf ("The First World Series," in the adult non-fiction section) at 7pm last night. Now, we are unpacking boxes, adjusting bookshelves, setting up our LAN, installing new computers, and much more.
We've had lots of questions about the lights being on in the new building.
Even though it seems like it . . not all the lights have been lit 24 hours a day. Since the building hasn't been occupied, our construction superintendent had to weigh security vs electricity to run the lights. Finally, the electricians (just today!) have set the lighting timeclock to turn the lights on and off on a more reasonable schedule. We will be glad when library staff are able to operate the lights and lighting timeclock ourselves!
