HI-TECH SYSTEM SET TO CUT LIBRARY QUEUES
With the installation of a new computerised issue system, long queues are destined to become a thing of the past at Stroud Library. Out have gone the old cardboard tickets and instead library users are being issued with personalised plastic cards for use when they take out or return books.
Now, instead of searching through racks of tickets,librarians are able to issue books and receive returned books simply by running a lightpen over the card and then over a special label inside the book.
Anythink Libraries wanted to remodel their Washington Branch. In this case they were looking for a 3-5 year solution, knowing that there was the possibility of relocating this branch library in the near future. The budget was modest for construction. We were encouraged to reuse what we could and new items were purchase with the intent of moving with the library.
By doing the following we were able to open up the floor plan, exposing the whole library to natural light and outside views.
•Split up the functions of the one circulation desk into two smaller staff pods.
•Relocate the community room to the first floor
•Relocate the staff area to the first floor
•Removing all interior walls in the library, exposing exterior windows
•Weeding the collection allowed for lower stack heights
•Using the elevator lobby for the self check units
•Purchasing new multi-use furniture scaled to the size of a smaller library.
New carpet and paint added to the package. Anythink brought in their branding to make this library feel and function as their new libraries.
Group3 Planners created the layout of the library, interior design, construction documents, and selected the furniture.

The newly renovated Elmhurst Library features a transparent façade and includes several amenities that fulfill critical needs lacking in this Queens neighborhood. The new four-level branch will have a cyber center for public use, an adult learning center, and training rooms located at the front of the facility that are highly visible from the street. The new building will also include a memory wall, learning garden, historic photographs, and a children’s fireplace to commemorate the original branch’s design by Andrew Carnegie in 1906.

As a reward for reading during the Summer, the library has a special event for the kids at the city pool with swimming and hot dogs!
Popplet rocks! This online tool helped me put my thoughts together. I think it will be a great tool for students to use, too! There are so many options...pdf, jpeg, online presentation, online collaboration. It should work well on the ipad too, though I have not set that up yet.

"A stripper with nothing to hide - but murder."
"... another murder-a-minute thriller that lets you peek behind the scenes in the strip business and leaves you as limp as a discarded G-string!"

The first of four libraries to be built in Bournemouth following a donation of £10,000 from Carnegie.
It opened on 26 October, 1907.
It was busy when I visited, but the librarian explained the back of the building used to house a bindery, but once that was no longer needed, it was refurbished and now houses a children's centre.
The street off to the right is called Library Road!

The Guinness family library. Many state documents are kept here too. Apparently Gerry Adams and Rev Ian Paisley had conducted their negotiations in this very room...

View of Powell library through the pillars of Royce Hall.
Love the details seen on the pillars along with the brick details. Too bad the sky is a bit overblown.

with my name on it TWICE.
edit march 21 2011: this is a library card from london in the camden borough. i went to the heath library most frequently [keats' old house! but it was under construction the entire time i was there, fail] but sometimes i went to two other ones in the neighborhood: swiss cottage and i think belsize park. but i liked the heath library best, as it had a coffee table inside and a lovely dome roof and a cat. when i was in london i reread all three books of philip pullman's his dark materials trilogy, which i had already read but which i love dearly. i also read some comics and probably some other books but i remember hdm most clearly. i got them all from the library! thanks camden borough!
sadly, i left london before i got to pay my 87 pence overdue fine. it is my dearest wish to go back there and give them the money as i felt very bad for forgetting to pay and i think it may have cast a poor shadow on the place where i lived and worked. mind, this was also in 2008.
