Epping Library Progress: The Latest Report

Construction of the new library at Epping is progressing, with the internal layout and external appearance becoming increasingly evident.

The entry foyer and extendable hours computer room are positioned adjacent to the driveway on the south side of the building. A large staircase, leading to the second floor is a central feature of the library. Upstairs, passers-by can see the beginnings of four large south-facing rooms (group study, seminar room etc) with lovely, large windows, offering views over the surrounding area. The second floor also houses the counsellor's office, first aid room and librarian's office on the western side. The Loans Desk and library collections will be located on the ground floor. The large room on the north side of the building will be home to the gymnasium.
