Progress on the Library Continues

By Jan Tanis | Treasurer, Bwindi Community Program

Creative seating plan by phase

The e-Library is taking shape.  The target of opening by year end is in reach.  The furniture manufacturer has improved the capacity in phase I and included a wonderful concept of seating on the balcony.  The plan is attached.  Phase I will provide seating for 64 and the next phase will provide an additional 103 seats.  The metal framing for the book shelves is being built at the manufacturing site.  The contract specifies delivery of all the furniture in phase I by the end of October.

The interior finishes of the space are moving along well.  The terrazzo is beautiful and extends outside to the balcony.  The creative touch of the new plan has enhanced the atmosphere outside as well as inside the library.   Electrical work is next and the ordering of the computers.  So much excitement has been created by the generosity of donors!  

As we look for funds for the final step of phase II of the furniture manufacturing, we are so grateful to all who have helped so far.  It has been a wonderful colaborative project; even the school alumni have risen to the occasion, donating some extra material for the terrazzo. It is the pride of the community and will be a community resource for years to come.
