Typically when you enter the library you might anticipate the smell of books, but if you come to the library in the next week or two you might be able to detect the smell of paint. The Stromsburg Public Library received a facelift over the long Labor Day weekend with new paint in the main library, meeting room, and hallways. Bret Orsborn of Beasy Painting in Stromsburg did a great job in helping us pick colors and in painting the entire main library over the long weekend. He finished painting the trim, meeting room and hallways during the week after he completed work at his day job.
Kile Lindburg was also a huge help in choosing a color scheme and picking up samples to try on the walls. I could not have done this without her.
We are still working on getting back to normal, while the shelves are pulled out from the walls we are looking at adding outlets and in anticipation of a new display item, the magazine racks will be moved downstairs. This change was also coming as we will soon be transferring to a digital magazine system similar to OverDrive for the use of our patrons at home. Look for more information on both of these items in the near future. Please be patient as we finish up these projects.
