Winter Grey



Snow has finally arrived.  We have been chasing mice around the Mini B. office and have reached our first junction of needing to pack up some materials to have room in our small digs.  Days feel long.  So it’s no wonder that the old library looks a little desolate. 

Things have slowed the last few weeks, but rest assured they have not stopped.  Behind the scenes trusses are being fabricated, plans are being reviewed, permit forms are being filled out, and samples of flooring, etc. are being reviewed.  Unfortunately there is not much of substance to say yet, but this is always the case with things in process.

Stay warm!  Read! And before you know it, there will be signs of Spring and more existing news!

A New Year



With the ides of January here, we hope that all of you had Happy Holidays!  Here in the realm of Library Land, things have been pretty quiet. Understandably the past two weeks have not seen much for the renovation project, but that does not mean nothing has happened.

While all has seemed quiet there has been much activity behind the scenes with necessary paperwork, permits, plans, etc.  Nothing particularly exciting, but all things needed. It is our hope that trusses are being fabricated or will be soon and that once again we will be able to literally "see" progress.

In the meanwhile, the Mini B. is going strong.  Come visit us in the next few weeks for a presentation on CT bob cats and history of CT beer. (Not the same program!) We are getting sign-ups for our Adult Winter Reading program (with prizes! Sign up today!)  Behind the scenes we are starting plans for summer reading and begun the arduous process of assessing furniture needs and floor plan for after the renovation.

Now that the new year is upon us, we'll be back in full swing and waiting for Spring!
