and finally - thirteen weeks later Alfreton Library is re-opening today. Everyone has worked really hard and it all looks lovely. A great new quick choice reception area with the new self-service machines, all new non-fiction area with health and wellbeing zone and tarted up teen and childrens' areas. It looks wonderfully bright with the new lighting and decoration and hopefully in winter the new heating will work better too!
Refurbishing is always an exhausting but very rewarding process - lets hope the customers like it too!

Learnings 1
Yesterday I started the day moving stuff to my new desk, then dashed off to Alfreton to meet the furniture fitters who were coming back to finish off. Next stop Ripley to see a designer and discuss the new Health & Wellbeing zone and exactly where we can situate it! Needed his advice as a team of us had spent two hours debating it and struggling to envisage how it could work! Then off to Alfreton again to answer lots of questions, talk nicely topeople to get things done and shelve books. Finished at 5.15 feeling absolutely exhausted only to find a ticket on the car windscreen! Learnings - don't try to squeeze so much into a day and check where I'm parking!
