The area that you see to your left is the Technical Services Area where new materials come into the building and are processed, cataloged and rolled out to be shelved. These items are be marked as oversized on the book and in the catalog. These items are just too large to fit on regular shelves, and pose a safety risk when shelved there. Here we have combined the adult s and the children s non-fiction. This gives a wide range of books on any given subject that can be easily located for whatever your need might be.
Libraries often lose children once they become young adults.
It can be an awkward time when they are not quite ready for adult materials, but don t wish to be grouped with younger children. By creating this area just for them, we hope to encourage our young adult readers, and draw them back as library users. Two of the rooms are open to the public at all times, and two may be used by reservation for small meetings and tutoring groups. The pullout shelves will make them much easier to access. On our right we have another study area with tables and chairs for quiet reading and research for patrons who like to work here in the library.
