The hot dry weather has made it possible for YPS to make good progress on the new library. Yes, we're miserable in the heat, but it's good for construction.

"And what is so fair as a day in June?

Then, if ever, come perfect days..."

Perfect days for building the new library, that is. Workers have almost finished pouring the footings, and hope to begin pouring the building slab next week. Slowly but surely the new library is coming along!

The building area is raised and they begin pouring the footings for the new library. Although we're all happy to see the rain, it causes work delays.

Here we see men preparing the site for the building slab. The builder plans to pour the concrete next week.

This huge ditch will hold one of the concrete footings for the new library.

Rain has delayed work on the new library, but drier weather this week gave the employees time to do more site preparation. Below we see the front section of a ditch that is being dug to handle rainwater runoff. The other photos show the big flat space where the Library's foundation will be poured. Slowly but surely, the new library building will rise. The new library building is paid for from the .01 sales tax and private donations.

Work Continues...

Work continues on the site as library employees, Sarah Moseley and Ellen Wahrmund, don their hard hats to visit the area.

Local Officials Gather at New Library Site

As site preparation began, local officials from the County, City, Library Board, and Library Foundation gathered to mark the event.
