River Falls Public Library River Falls Public Library Audiences rave about low prices at Falls Theatre Community Arts Base looking to strengthen city's soul Community Theatre, fun at all levels On or off stage, drama experiences are plentiful A new community library opened in December 1997, ending a 3-year drive that featured a partnership between local government and citizens. The new 24,000 sq. Shelves will be only half full, leaving plenty of room for growth in the coming years. Lots of bright, natural light will illuminate the spacious setting for quiet reading in the new library.
Roomy aisles make easy access to separate fiction, non-fiction, young adult and big print areas.
A large central location has been devoted to reference. Newsbank, a computer database of newspaper articles and Infotrac and SIRS, both magazine databases, will be available. Eight public computer stations with Internet connections are arranged in an enclosed horseshoe-shaped room. Stations allowing computer access to the library's online card catalog are scattered throughout the building. The media area, housing videos and CDs, features an unusual lighting treatment with the appearance of lasers crisscrossing the ceiling.
