<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 1254597, member: 8267"]OK - with some preliminary disclaimers. Access is somewhat difficult because all remaining space has been taken over by the basket collection <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> (at least they are much lighter). And work that should have been done before the library went in somehow never happened. So there are still the remains of 1960's cheap paneling and acoustic tile on the ceiling (not my doing!), not to mention the 1940s floral linoleum.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]216177[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216178[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216179[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216180[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216181[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216182[/ATTACH] </p><p>The lower batten on the wall is what the shelves are attached to at one end.
