Countdown to opening – Part 8

Well, we were ready to open and the new chairs arrived, so everything was great. Then we realised that the chairs did not fit properly under the tables – so we borrowed some from the hall! Anyway, watch out for the announcement…….

Opening very soon!

We have reached another great milestone!

All of the boxes of books from the old library have now been unpacked on to the new shelving. Also, loads of new Fiction has been added. Have a look at the pictures below and also at the slideshow lower down this page for the latest photos!

Don’t these look great! Mrs Robinson and the rest of the Library Committee are working hard to get the new Library open as soon as possible – it won’t be long.

By the way – thanks for the speedy shelving are due to Mrs Robinson’s sons, Luke and Mark, who came in to help during the summer holidays and also in the last couple of weeks!

The new furniture has now been fitted – apart from a few finishing touches! All who have seen it say it looks fantastic – thanks to Tom & Richard from Tarver’s!

Countdown to opening – Part 5

Mrs Robinson — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:40:49 +0000

Exciting times! All of the library equipment, books and resources was moved into the new space on Friday so that Room 9 could be cleared for use again. The furniture fitters are now finishing off the last touches – cupboards, worktops, desk and so on. Then Mrs Robinson will be able to get in and start unpacking!

Pile of boxes to unpack!

There are huge piles of boxes across the library, consisting of all the old stock plus loads of new books. All of these will be put on the shelves as quickly as possible with new signing and guiding to help everyone find what they are looking for.

Lots of new furniture and equipment is also being delivered. It will be great fun unpacking this and putting it all into place!

Staff are welcome to pop in at any time to see the progress. Students will be shown around as soon as possible.
