As Mr Manilow once said, or rather once sang, 'looks like we made it!'
We re-opened the library on Monday and people from the local community have flooded in!
Here are a few pics of the interior, taken just before we opened the doors on day one.
This is the adult library... love those comfy sofas and all that oak flooring. 
Here's the Children's Library with Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz keeping an eye on things!
Yes, those are Superman's legs in the teenage area... and don't you just love those funky chairs!

It's a great place for families to chill out together and enjoy stories and fun.
The staff have worked incredibly hard to create such a beautiful library and are rightly proud of their achievements.See you again soon with a card... happy crafting everyone and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Oh, this is so, so nice Jo! Love it! The kids area looks spectacular, love the computers! And can I take home one of those red chairs with me, Chris would get such a huge kick out of that! Thanks so much for sharing!
It looks amazing, and so comfy, I think I may have to pop round.

Would love to come to your library and chill for a while with a good book in one of those retro chairs :)

Hi Jo,
The new library looks fantastic. Wish I had somewhere like this nearby - you'd find me in one of those funky red chairs for sure!
Don't work too hard and have really nice weekend.

What a gorgeous and absolutely INSPIRING place for enrichment! I LOVE IT! And my I say that those retro/modern chairs look like some sort of sculpture installation - How COOL! Sounds like you are HOME, Madame Dots! Congratulations!
Oooh, what a gorgeous library - the decor is amazing and I love all that natural light!
I used to work in a little office with only a skylight window, then we moved to a beautiful modern office with huge windows and a view over the Belfast hills ... took us weeks before we could settle to do any work!
Have a fab weekend Jo.
Gorgeous Jo - love the colors and it looks like a great place for relaxing with a good book...Must be great working in environment like these...

Hi :)
how nice of you to write me on my blog.
I think I am sending you a card, I think you send to the person above you, I believe you are writing Pia. later on we get mails, with the exact info, so we will see :)
write me on Rikkens@hotmail.com instead if you want :)
How exciting! That's, absolutely, wonderful! And congrats! Libraries are a soft spot for me. I worked in the children's library, in my hometown, while growing up. I'd LOVE to be a children's librarian, when my kiddos are grown, and I'm not super busy taking care of my family. Hey, thanks so much for the kind comment you left on my blog!
Hi Jo, what a fabulous library, a lot different to how I remember them!! Hope your new job is going well and you are enjoying it. Just having a catch up, your cards are fab as always. Take care Hugs Jo x
Ooh, the library looks fabulous! I really love those funky cocoon chairs!
