The Town of Esopus Library, or, as I call it, the Port Ewen Library, is a little known gem of a place tucked away at the edge of town up the hill from a park right on the Hudson. Redone a few years ago, it is a beautiful little get-away with a huge open space/art gallery downstairs, along with a duck pond (with ducks and fish!), and a kids' room, teen room, and large deck with Hudson views and Adirondack chairs upstairs. Here, we will take a look at the upstairs bathroom.
So far, so good. Pretty standard stuff.
Still pretty standard. Good things to have all around. This, by the way, is a single bathroom, as in, unisex, for upstairs.
Well. Now things have gotten a tad weird. I hypothesize what that metal plate is for. Is it an access hatch? I see no screws on it. Is it to make it easier to clean, since it's unisex? But why only one side? Did the person who installed it, um, veer to the left? And why the handicapped bar at the back of the toilet? I'm not complaining. It's relatively clean and quite useable.
But then this:
I'm glad for the 'Cover your Cough' sign. In a public space like a library, it's a great idea. Then we get to the confusing part. First, I was indignant that there was a sign over the lock, telling me which way was locked and which was unlocked. I paid no attention. I tried to lock the door. And I failed. Their lock goes counterclockwise, which I deduced is the reason for the sign. For some reason, it's counter-intuitive. So thank you for thatl. But demerits for what I don't see, There's nowhere to hang my bag.
