Library Scenes

another day at the “liberry”
   These are a couple of little scenes from the library where I work as a circulation assistant.

The first scene is something I put together to decorate my desk. It depicts me and a coworker at the circulation desk, processing the daily delivery.

   The trick with this one was getting the angle of the wings right. After several attmempts, I settled on wedge plates to produce the desired angle.

Some details, such as the scanners and desensitizers, were lost due to compression, but I did manage to include the cash register and the flat-screen monitors.

those books ain’t gonna shelve themselves
   The second scene was built as a tribute to our hard-working page, who does all the shelving at the branch.

The shelves are big white metal units with wood endcaps - those are the brown tiles facing outwards.

a humble library cart
   This little cart took me about three hours to come up with, but I’m very proud of the way it turned out.

The key pieces are the new 1x2/2x2 brackets, turned 90 degrees. A really neat Clikits piece was used to make the stud-to-stud connection between the cart and the floor.

I’d like to do some more library scenes in the future - there’s still the info desk to do, at the very least.

Thanks to Bruce Hietbrink and Lenny Hoffman for their inspiring library scenes!
