The old children's room entrance that was moved further from the entrance door was painted. Pictures show the beginning stages to the completed stage. The room looks so much brighter with new ceiling tiles and new paint color!

In the study room, a "knee wall" has been added between carrels to provide more electrical outlets for customers with laptops. Previously customers plugged their devices into a surge protector. Electrical outlets have been added into this knee wall which is still under construction.
