I hope the grand opening went well and had great attendance. When I was in GP awhile ago for a workshop in the new building, I took some time to explore the library. Very nice. I asked one of the staff what she liked the best or couldn't do without and very quickly she noted the natural light, which had been lacking in the old building. Good information for us to consider as we try to locate a building that we can renovate for a larger library here in Peace River.
Thanks Leslie - everything went really well - Fred Penner tickets went fast, and the building was full all day. It was great to see the membership desk busy all day!
The building really is a great place to just go and "be" and I'd have to agree that the natural light is a big part of it.
This is GPs first propose-built library building and it was well worth it. Hopefully you are able to find something that will work well but if there's nothing out there consider going new.
