Park Branch Reopening February 26, 2011
We're all looking forward to the reopening of the Park Branch Library on Saturday, February 26th! The event kicks off at 1 pm with the ribbon cutting ceremony.
The festivities will also include Chinese Lion Dancers, musical performances by The Jugtown Pirates and the Monkeybutts, and acrobatic performances by the SF Circus School and Acrosports!
A big thank you to the neighborhood for supporting the Reopening Celebration! In particular, we'd like to Haight Street Market (part of the Haight-Ashbury Merchants Association) for the donation of cookies, Cocoluxe for the donation of truffles, and Whole Foods for providing food for the event. We'd also like to thank the Cole Valley Improvement Association (CVIA) for sponsoring one of our performers and all of the Park Branch Library Campaign Committee for helping us spread the word and for volunteering at the event.
Library services will take place between 2 and 6 pm on Saturday and we'll resume our regular schedule of open hours on Monday, February 28th.
Park Branch tote bags will be distributed while supplies last, so be sure stop by on opening day!

New Water Lines
Some exciting work is going out outside the building. They're putting in the new water lines!

The work continues!
Things are progressing nicely at the Park Branch. As you can see from the photo on the left, the florescent lighting is now completely gone from the Reading Room! The old Circulation Desk has also been removed, making way for the new teen space in the north east corner of the room.
Downstairs this month's work is even more dramatic. The dust and rubble we saw in the construction photos from May have cleared and walls are being framed.
Plumbing was laid in the trenches that were visible in the May photos of the downstairs. The photo on the left shows the plumbing for the new public restrooms at the north east corner of the building.

Work in progress!

We have our first action shots of work being done inside the Park Branch! As you can see, major work is being done on the ground floor.
Upstairs, the flourescent lights on the ceiling are coming down, to be replaced with beautiful pendant fixtures. This picture shows the workers taking down the old lights.
This final shot shows the emptied reading room and the scaffolding used to remove the lighting. We can't wait to see the improvements the pendant lights will bring to our library.

Construction Has Begun!
Today after storytime I drove past the Park Branch and saw that work has begun on the renovation project! The contracters have put up a chain link fence and I could see workers were busily doing things inside the branch. It was great to see that things are underway!
