Things are humming along here at Bethesda Library.

| New ADA Spaces in Parking Lot |
Outside, the ADA upgrades to the parking lot and front sidewalk area have been completed. New ADA spaces have been installed in the front center of the parking lot. In addition, the grade of the entrance from Arlington Road has been lowered and railings have been installed along the sidewalk near the flagpole.
Roof replacement remains in progress. The roofers are working their way from the back of the building to the front. The windows above each of the six shelving bays have all been replaced and more activity is to come.

| New Circulation Area Walls |
Inside, there's new paint, new flooring, and the beginnings of new collaboration spaces and the new circulation desk. Crews have installed new rubber flooring in the staff workroom and new carpeting in the branch supervisors' offices. The wall behind the future circulation desk now sports a coat of dark blue paint. Speaking of the new desk, the new wall that will stand in front of it is now being built, along with two shorter walls in front of the workroom entrances.

| New Tiling in the Women's Restroom |
Bright yellows, oranges, and whites now adorn the walls around the children's area. In the rear of the library, framing has begun for the new collaboration spaces.
The public restrooms are also coming along. New white and blue tiling has been installed in each. Some of the fixtures for the restrooms were delivered as this post was being written and will hopefully be installed soon.
Lastly, crews have begun removing many of our light fixtures so that something more illuminating can be installed.
