Loussac Library reopened Wednesday after a two-week closure.

The new entrance lobby features a massive hanging metal sculpture called "Portal of Perception."

The remodeled second, third and fourth floors are also open again, and the new circulation desk is on the first floor.

Stairwells are still under construction, and renovations will continue in the building, culminating with a grand reopening scheduled for fall.
