What the new library means to me...

Marsha', our Adult Services Specialist, has been working for the Henderson Libraries for over three years. Recently she shared her thoughts on what she is looking forward to the most in the new library: a bigger computer lab, large windows throughout the building, and the drive-through window.

Charlotte, one of our Circulation Specialists, has been with the library for 15 years. She's looking forward to a separate office space for the Circulation department as well as a larger breakroom.

Roof detail from a different perspective

It's a cold, gloomy day to take pictures of the building site. This photo was taken from a bit further away to allow you to see some roof detail.

Here are a couple of picture showing the roof in its various stages of completion. The whole roof isn't up yet, but pretty close to it.
