The High School Library Gets a Facelift

Madison Albert-Nelson

      As many of us have caught on to by now, the Platteville High School library is being remodeled! Although newcomers may not realize it, the IMC has gone through some drastic changes compared to what it once was. Although the books are kept in the back room currently, but can still be checked out, the open IMC area is coming along nicely. The library set up, will be finished by the end of the school year, says Ms. Schober. The old library featured a balcony above the tables that was rarely used, but fondly remembered by all who went up there. Mrs. Schober who commented, “It was such a unique space, but it wasn't up to code and made the main area of the library feel like a cave...it’s time had expired. I was happy to see it go, but I will remember it fondly.” Our new up-to-date library now features several work spaces for groups! Each will be equipped with a table, chairs to surround, and a display TV. We’d also like to thank Bill Wagner and Brad Kettle for building us a new circulation desk. They used some of the cabinets and drawers from the old desk and incorporated them into the new workstation for the Tech Team and our librarians! Wagner is also the man who built those group rooms and helped create the new cafe tables and countertops. All these elements have come together to make a modern IMC that will help students far into the future.
