Our new library

Our library has been around as long as I can remember.
It's a Carnegie library and is a wonderful place.  I spent
a lot of time there as a teen being shushed by Mrs.Hanson.

An addition has been added and I spent a bit of time there this afternoon.
While the new side is finally open, the older side is getting revamped.  This is one of the seating areas with a great view through the floor to ceiling windows of the river.

These copper fish decorate the staircase leading to the lower level.



A faux fireplace.

Cool lights throughout and a view through a side window of the old gal.

I love this deck!  It's going to be so cool to sit out here and watch all the activity on our downtown boardwalk.

I'm a Kindle user and download all my reading material from the library but also love to spend time reading magazines there.

This is a huge picture of the Kalamazoo river that winds its way through Allegan.  Look closely and you can see the old/new trestle bridge in the background.

So spacious and bright.


This is another shot of the decking on the river looking toward the parking lot behind the older section.
We now have a library that will stay current with this ever changing world we are living in.

I'm also very, very happy that we kept the old gal.  She's a beauty and those of us that have wonderful memories (besides being shushed) are glad she'll be there for many years to come.
