Thanks to those of you who voted, we will have a new home! I am so excited because there will be so much more space to hang out, play and for us to have events. Not only that, there will be more space for books! We have to get rid of books so much that it hurts, but because we don't have the space that's what we have to do.
I have already been thinking of all the things we need to do:
  • obviously another kids bathroom with a small toilet :)
  • a place for more parents to sit and hang out while kids have fun in different interactive areas
  • a larger makerspace for people to play with technology
  • a quiet spot for those who want to read
  • a TEEN SPACE that's JUST FOR TEENS! I think that I am most excited about this because our teens deserve something better, somewhere that they can hang out and be loud, because that's who they are.
So what do you want to see in our new kids and teens areas in our library? No Negative Nelly's. Only positive thoughts and ideas. Now that its happening there's no looking back and negative thoughts will be removed.

I love the coziness of your current library please try and have an area which feels like a old fashion library with fireplace and comfy chairs like you do now!! Us bibliophiles are have hard time finding spaces like this in new 'modern' libraries..
