I dropped by some of our branch libraries yesterday and the atmosphere at each one was fun, vibrant and busy. Library staff members were dressed in their finest costumes, from Tinker Bell with oversized wings, to the Orange Lady with fancy and very large, orange and black butterfly lashes. Children and adults, as well, expressed admiration and approval.
I heard reports of record attendance at the programs yesterday. I also observed the bustling activity of people registering for library cards, getting assistance with their inquiries, frantically finishing projects using the library computers at closing time, and checking out books and DVDs for the weekend.
The programs and costumes were all in fun, the other activities all about library business – just the way we at SDPL connect to our communities. Thanks to our library staff for their on-going work, especially Youth Services for the fabulous programs yesterday!
And speaking of records, a visit to the new Central Library job site on Friday confirmed that Turner Construction and our subcontractors on site have maintained their excellent safety record. Construction began over a year ago and there has been no work stoppage due to accidents. That’s a great record to uphold. Thanks to all of the crews working on the new Central Library! Keep up the good work.
Please take a look at the webcam to see progress on the project -http://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/about-the-library/newcentral.shtml. The sixth floor is being constructed now and walls are going up on lower floors.
This is going to be an amazing library!
