Finishing touches are arriving —  sort of like a Christmas gift. Some of the wooden pieces that cover the ends of the metal shelving units in the library arrived and have been installed.
And some of the wooden canopies that top off the shelves are also in.
Library Director Priscilla Colwell said the rest of the end pieces and canopies are expected by mid-January.
The vertical plates in the children’s library section that face toward the center of the library will have a tree motif that echoes the stunning mural wall artwork in the children’s section.
And coming for the adult section are end pieces that have slats that will allow books to be featured on the end walls facing the center of the library.
The canopies that cap the shelving units are matching wood.
In addition — more Christmas at the library — Colwell said 41 Steam to Go sets are available for kids. The Penworthy packages contain activities for PreK through grade 3 and for older kids. The interactive educational kits offer everything from science to the arts to construction to math.  Colwell said it’s a great program so ... “I ordered them all.”
