January 2nd The portal and entrance were still snowed in on January 2, but here is where we'll greet our patrons in the near future as they enter the Southside Branch Library. Under the snow on either side of the front entrance are over 400 bricks inscribed with names of friends, community members and loved ones, both human and from the animal world. The support of the community is greatly appreciated and these names will be a legacy to their generosity. Books are scheduled to arrive in early February—over 60,000. We envision that by Spring Break, the branch will be a beehive of students and community members attacking the shelves for information! |

December 4th Southside Library in beautiful Santa Fe light. The Field Reports tend to have a sameness about them as the contractors' crews work on finishing up and delivering the library to staff some time this month. Our director's commentary includes: "The fascia panels have been installed on the building, facing Jaguar. The staff is calling it the great concha belt in the sky. A gorgeous addition... Cisterns have been placed... Engraved donor bricks were delivered to the site on Tuesday, December 5, and will be placed as the brick walkway is laid in under north Portal on either side of the entrance..." A second group of donor bricks will be placed in February. |

November 20th The shelving at the Southside Library started going in this week, but we don't have photographs yet. We hear it's really gorgeous (at least to librarians). Meanwhile, looking past the circulation desk toward the main entryway (the front doors are still plywood.) |

November 13th The Architect's Field Report for November 13th includes the following (some of it familiar, some of it new): "Drywall, taping, and texture. Operable units are being transported and installed. Bathroom tile is being set and grouted. 95% of the tile has been grouted. The boiler room is complete with the exception of the dampers. Colored concrete and other exterior flatwork are being poured. Metal roofing is being installed and trimmed out. HVAC controls are being installed and adjusted. Cisterns have been placed with the exception of Cistern A, which is temporarily in the Children’s Courtyard until the stucco wallis finished. Artwork fascia panels have been installed. Carpet tile is being installed in the main stacks area." Remember those cistern pads which had just been poured back in February? The cisterns for the rainwater harvesting system were put in place this week. |
