Logan Central – shaping up to look like a library
6 December 2010The internal fittings are being put in place at the new Logan Central library premises. Looking from the entrance of the library, the front counter and public access computing areas now have desks in place, while a new moveable wall has been setup in the meeting room.
Outside the library things are shaping up too. At the front of the building a new red facade has been constructed. A back fence is in place. The Technical Services area also has had touch ups completed.

Stage 2 continues at Logan Central
23 November 2010The first photo on the left shows the outside of the library, the large blue section is where the library’s sign will be housed. In the middle photo the view is from the foyer area looking out, and new tiles can be seen on the floor. From further back in the library looking out to the front entrance, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Tiles have also been laid outside the library workroom, and at the end of the view is the bookshop. The basement carpark in the middle, shows a wall off to the side which is the staff room and lunch terrace. Finally the area outside Technical Services is coming together.
Outside and in at Logan Central
15 November 2010Outside the new Logan Central Library premises, work has been completed on the glass entry foyer, Technical services wall and the front outside wall of the library workroom.
Inside, the story telling area has received a new sink and cupboards while raked ceilings were installed above the library itself.
