Clay and his team are in the final stages of redoing their permanent exhibit. Where do things stand right now and what is your projected opening date for the new permanent exhibit . Clay we are probably within two months of having the new exhibits done and ready to open. The big question with all the libraries is when will the libraries actually open to the public. We are not really sure about that, but the work on our new permanent exhibits we are within two months of being done. Herman so the exhibits are being installed as we speak . Clay yes.
