The construction crew is very carefully separating the old cabinetry and old countertop from the beautiful oak surround of our circulation desk. This will make room for the new quartz countertop and new cabinets. It’s taking a bit of extra time to do this. However, it’s well worth it to be able to maintain the beautiful integrity of the original design. This piece complements very nicely with the oak canopy that hangs above it as well as with all of the beautiful woodwork featured throughout our building.
