Just before the unveiling of the staircase, construction workers put on the finishing touches underneath the plastic sheeting.

Anyone visiting the Lower Level of the Library for the next month will note rows of lights missing and strings of temporary lanterns in their place. We're borrowing about 100 fluorescent fixtures for the Upper Level instead of buying all new fixtures. Since the renovated Lower Level will use fewer of these fixtures, this trade helps maximize our re-use and minimize our new purchase of light fixtures. Pat T.
