Greetings on a beautiful, (dare I say it?) DRY Monday morning. Many of you, no doubt, had to travel this weekend -- I hope you were not too delayed getting to your destination.
Our online survey is still available through the rest of June at http://www.sunprairiepubliclibrary.org/. Last week, with the help of our Friends, we offered print copies of the survey in our lobby. The response was overwhelming -- thank you to everyone who took the time to give us your input! While we have two weeks to go before tabulating the results, there is one issue that has come up regularly that I thought I could address immediately. Several respondents felt the library was too noisy or that it was hard to find a quiet place. While the library in general is a bustling place, we have several areas that we try very hard to keep "silent." They are as follows:
Martha Renk Reading Room -- A silent room that houses the magazine and newspaper collections, this room offers lovely views of Sheehan Park and a fireplace.
Discussion Rooms -- We have two discussion rooms that can be checked out at the Registration Desk for up to two hours. Both offer wireless access and closed doors.
Computer Lab -- Our 12-station lab is a silent lab. Access a workstation with your library card and PIN. This room is one person per computer.
Children's & Adult Wing Towers -- These towers, while at the farthest point from the entrance, offer quiet workspaces that look out onto Sheehan Park.
If at any time you find these quiet areas are noisy, please alert library staff and we will help to maintain the quiet.
Thanks,
Tracy Herold, Director
