Summer weather has arrived in South Carolina, and those working outside on our new library addition are feeling the heat. However, humidity and the scorching sun are no match for this hard-working crew. Since beginning in late April, they've made great strides in the building of the new Bryan Family Information Commons. the sidewalk in front of th library has been removed and replaced by massive holes meant to house pilings that will act as the foundation for the building. The construction crew has also partially removed the facade of the west side of the library in order to connect the new addition to the existing building.
All of this progress, however, does not come without some disruption. Jackhammers and bulldozers never rose to popularity because of their tranquil, soothing sounds. Never fear, Kimbel Library is here. If you are troubled by the noise while working in the library, please feel free to take advantage of the free earplugs located near the main entrance of the library. Simply turn the orange knob at the bottom of the dispenser until it has produced the desired number of plugs. These earplugs are disposable, so feel free to throw them away when leaving the library. Stay tuned for more updates as we make more progress on our new Bryan Family Information Commons.
