Circulation Desk
After three days of dismantling, building, drilling, moving and lots and lots of cleaning, we opened this morning to a brand new, beautiful desk and pots of coffee and tea to welcome the public!
Coincidentally, I went to a workshop this afternoon on the topic of Library Transformation. They spoke about physical, virtual and philosophical transformations at different types of libraries. Definite themes emerged:
* Responsiveness to the community. Keep asking what the public wants and needs.
* Involve the community in the library and the library in the community
* Listen.
* Become accustomed to change.
* Set a goal of saying "yes."
* Incorporate technology - blogs, wikis, instant messaging, email, etc.
* Think out of the box, listen, respond and rethink the way we've always done things.
What a way to begin the Spring season! Thanks to the Friends for beautifying the library and enhancing our transformation!
