LIBRARY NEWS

Come visit and be amazed by the changes at your library Anyone who has not visited our library recently may be

very surprised Not only have we worked to make our col-

lection better by removing outdated and damaged books

we have moved things around to better use our space

We are planning to create more study areas in the Adult

non-fiction area and have moved the Young Adult collec-

tion into the non-fiction space which will make it easier

for the teens to get help when they need it Soon we will

have a casual seating area and three study rooms there as

well We are working on moving the DVDs into a con-

tained space near the check- out desk which should make

it easier to browse and use that collection Additional

shelving will allow us to buy more Playaways and books

on CD Wersquore confident that these changes will make a

better library experience for everyone
