New Central Library check-out area takes shape.
We’re saying our last goodbyes this week to the big green circulation desk that has anchored the first floor of Central Library since the early 1990s.
In its place–actually about 15 feet to the south–will be a nifty new wood-veneered staff station for handling 
questions and face-to-face “circ” transactions.
As to the self-check machines we’ve gotten to know well the last few years, they’re leaving the big old green desk and heading east about ten feet to rest on the new bank of counter spaces that were just installed between the pillars and against the new circulation area wall.
All this shifting will free up lots of room for seating, browsing new books and making your way across the building.
As we’ve said a lot this year, thanks for continuing to pardon our dust.
