city/library walk thru

2008-09-04T20:08:09Z

I had an opportunity to tour/walk thru Spencer's public library. I met a very friendly staff member who "whispered" to me
the entire time...(something we don't do here in our library - to that extent anyway) She graciously gave me a tour.
They have a very nice ICN room - and cool "round" meeting room in which was displayed various art work.
The children's section features a floor to ceiling - 20 foot wide glass wall - overlooking bushes and vines and flowers - very
nice.
The size of their building quadrupled that of ours and then some, I think. It seemed a loooong walk from one end to the
other.
I saw a couple men there who looked like they maybe "hung out" in the library during the day...maybe not, but it seemed
like it to me. This is something we don't have in our smaller town/library. They are also open on Sundays, another thing
we don't do here.
Ever since I started working at the library (2001) I find it interesting to "walk thru" other libraries whenever I have a
chance - very interesting - very informative - I find many things the same - many things different.
