Take a table from the basement storage at Uptown, put it on the floor at NS, and say "create something," then step back and grin while the creative juices of this amazing staff start to flow. This table is the best children's display I have ever seen in a library. And that's saying a lot! Coupled with the newly upholstered chairs and the gorgeous table display at the entrance to Northside and you have the ingredients for renewed energy and a delightful user experience.

 

This is the new space we have created at SW for New Books. Our target date for launch is Tuesday morning. There is a new round laminate wood grain top to add, letters spelling NEW to add to the walls above, and, of course, lots of new books to shelve and face front and display. We have benches to position along the front for people to sit and gaze at all the pretty new books. And Jill has new nesting tables to create interesting topical displays down "Main Street."

 

Do these projects make you smile? Are you a creative person who has lots of ideas on how to get our collection into the hands of our community? The KPL Marketing Team needs you! Send me an email and tell me your big idea. This effort is going to take a lot of brains and a lot of bodies. But it may turn out to be the most fun we've had at work in years!
