Several public service departments that are currently on the first floor will move to the second and third floors. Here are a few pictures of the second floor to give you a preview. New light fixtures line the 2nd floor hallway. The paintings on the ceiling have been restored. At the end of the hallway, you’ll see a large glass wall with a door. That’s where the new Teen Wing will start in 2019, giving young adults their own space. That space will temporarily house the Children’s Department as downstairs is now under renovation. 
Here’s a peek at the rosettes in the ceiling of Central Hall. Plaster workers have painstakingly restored them, so they look like the day they were created.
The Central Library is closed for renovations this week. Pratt Chat is giving you an inside look at some of those renovated spaces. Today, we’re going inside the new Creative Arts Center.
