Pre-construction Phase: ground floor. View from the old entrance to the library - the reception counter and all of the shelving has now gone (happily to other libraries and local charities) and the space is ready for building work to commence.

Electric hoists have now been installed for the Learning Disability Service

New cabling throughout the building - chased in for neatness

Opening in the external wall at the back of the building, leading into the new extension (view from the library)

Children's library ready to receive its furnishings and signage.

Scaffolding built up from the basement on steel girders (see www.flickr.com/photos/devonlibraries/6761112225), which will allow the walls in the reception area to come down (see www.flickr.com/photos/devonlibraries/6761113699)

The colours are up! We really are in the final stages now and it's already hard to remember that this was an excavated area filled with heavy-duty scaffolding only weeks ago. Looking from the main entrance across the library.

Ground floor library space

Surveying for new interactive whiteboards in the adult learning/meeting rooms

The original features of this listed building will be retained in the refurbishment, including the oak panel doors and fanlights above.
