We're counting down the final days in the old Gibson library on Water Street and Basic. We're down to 18 today (Wednesday), although it doesn't seem real... yet. Once the books start getting packed, then it will sink in for everyone :) The old library will close May 15. We hope to have the new library open at the beginning of July. The new library is located at 100 W Lake Mead Pkwy. It's in the Target shopping center at the corner of Water St and W Lake Mead Pkwy.
Last week we saw the electricity go on and the building lit up. Here's what's going on this week...
The chandelier in the main entrance lobby
View from the main entrance
Adult program room, sans carpet
Adult fiction and nonfiction will be shelved here. The windows straight ahead have a lovely view of Sunrise Mountain.
Facing the computer lab
Hope you enjoyed the pictures this week!

Lots of air conditioning ducts this week going up
Most of the obvious changes this week were a little hard to take a picture of without the good camera (aka the camera with a flash). The air conditioning ducts are in place which is very important since we hope to open mid summer.
The view of the whole building from the front.
Detailed tilework view in the columns of the entrance
The preparation for the tilework on the back of the building, which will be the same as the tile at the main entrance once that's put in place.
Two photos showing the southwest corner of the building. The crane is there to put up the awning that will be over the drive-through window.
The program room for adults
The computer lab from one corner where the windows will be.

Getting closer....
The walls are almost completely painted and most of the windows are in. Take a look!
The main entrance now has sliding glass doors.
Looking in from the main entrance. Straight ahead towards the windows is where the Adult area will be.
This is the view from the Children's area across the library.
This is the Friends of The Library booksales nook.
This is the view from the Adult side looking towards the Children's area. On the left side you can see part of the Computer Lab. On the right side will be the customer service desks.
