A Gazebo in the Woods The library grounds will include a few outbuildings, including a gazebo across from the Ester Post Office. This structure is nestled in amongst the birches and alders growing on the tailings there, and features stained glass windows, benches, a few book and magazine shelves, a bulletin board, and space for informational brochures or fliers from local businesses and organizations. Construction started in 2007 and continued in 2008, with the last details, such as the windows, benches, and trim to be put in over summer 2009 and 2010. The gazebo functions as a quiet summertime place to rest and read, to wait for the bus or friends, to play music, for small gatherings in an outdoorsy but sheltered setting, and to find out what's going on around the village. In the winter, it will serve as a place to get in out of the wind or to wait for the bus--and will still be a good spot for posting notices. It is the start and endpoint of Readers on the Run, a 5-kilometer footrace that takes place in the village. May 10, 2009: the newest window by Denise Akert-Mohr.
