This is the new water fountain on the first floor that features a bottle filler.

Hi! Happy post fourth of July. We feel fortunate that we have had inside jobs lately with the heat the way it has been outside.

All around BML there are signs of a project beginning to come together. You can now catch glimpses of the gorgeous new quiet study room, new carpet, and wonderful new restrooms. The remaining ceilings and lights will be installed very soon.

Work continues to restore windows in the Nostrae Filea room up on the third floor. The new TLC windows, in the same area, look really nice. Like other floors, the third floor restrooms are coming together and will be among the best on campus.

Elsewhere, we are watching paint dry as new and refreshing colors are going up on the new walls. Speaking of refreshing, we sent out many pieces of furniture to receive new upholstery which we expect back towards the end of the month.

Continuing next week will be painting, plumbing fixture placement, and carpeting. The library is beginning to look likes its old self again except much better!
