Much of the office furniture for the library will be brought over from the current library, as will most of the chairs and tables we use in public spaces. Additional furniture has also been ordered for these areas and the first deliveries are expected soon.
We have several distinct areas of the library that we want to furnish differently to the rest. Four companies were asked to submit their proposals for these areas and we spent some time discussing the designs today. We like two of the proposals in particular but will need some further information before we decide between them. The brief we gave to the companies was to suggest funky seating in the youth area, some eye-catching seating in the window area above the entrance, occassional seats to place around the library and some comfortable tub style armchairs and café tables with chairs in on the ground floor. We've dubbed the small atrium area on the ground floor as the Lolfa as it will be a comfortable place to read a newspaper or sit and chat. We will avoid calling it Y Lolfa so as not to confuse it with the well known Welsh publisher of the same name.
One of our most important tools in recent months has been a collection of various printed RAL colour charts which we guard jealously. Everything in the library has a RAL colour and the charts and colour swatches are helping us decide on colour schemes for various parts of the building.
