Pictures from the Library Opening

Those talented drummers from Chipman warm up the crowd.




Crowds gather in front of the library under a light drizzle.




Yeay, the bike racks are being used right away!



Boy scouts raise the flag. I was astounded at how military the boy scouts are. I had no idea.




Bob Haun, project manager who built the library under budget and ahead of schedule, makes his remarks.




Councilmember Frank Mataresse, who had co-chaired the campaign to raise funds for the library, makes his remarks.




Mayor Johnson's turn at the podium, surrounded by dignitaries. See if you can spot: Wilma Chan, Don "Don" Perata, Sylvia Kahn, Don Roberts, and Pat Bail.




The throngs storm the castle!

Oh, on the previous picture, I was kidding about the last two names!

Update: One more image I just thouught of adding: the webcam across the street. My script to save pictures for my library construction time-lapse movie was still going. So here's the view at 11 O'clock yesterday.
