Cut Here

It’s been a bit of a zoo on West School Street, Huron Street, Erie Street,

and then over on County A/Superior Street, Stanzil, North, Batagowski,

and Anderson Streets. And soon Russell Road and Wheeler Island will

join the party. It sort of feels like the whole town of Three Lakes is

under construction!

It’s felt like a beehive at the library construction site with all the

subcontractors coming and going and things going up and in and

around. Meanwhile next door, the old police/fire station and

community building have come down and footings are being poured for

the new town offices.

Once again, most of the library progress feels like it is happening on the

inside of the building. Lyn, Janet, and I walked around making plans for

signage and bookshelves and the space inside is feeling more and more

like our end goal for a more open, functional, yet still cozy space. I wish

I could share the progress with you, but I also think that the day-to-day

can really feel like it is only inching along, while month-to-month

means the big changes are noticeable.

You can stay up-to-date by following us on Facebook or at

www.demmerlibrary.org/demmer-2018. Also, check out our
