Pocatello Library News
If you have been in the library recently, you may be walking around a little bewildered and wondering what is different…new smells, new colors… new furnishings. Not only have we moved things about, we have also recently put in NEW CARPET on the entire main floor of the library. It was quite an undertaking requiring us to close for an entire week in December so we could move not only each and every book but entire shelves as well. This was no small feat. Thanks to a generous grant from the Fred Meyer Foundation last year, we were able to purchase new picture book bins in the children’s area and install awesome restaurant-style booths in the young adult area as well as purchase several new computers and tables. A chain reaction followed. Badly worn carpet throughout our main floor was replaced with a beautiful warm brown, the young adult area received several new colors of paint, and shelves throughout were shifted around. This is a MUST SEE! To celebrate and showcase these changes, we invite all to an Open House on Thursday, January 12, 2012 from 4 to 6pm. Refreshments and tours will be available. Enter our “Changes” contest and guess how many changes we have made. Prizes will be awarded! Kath Ann Hendricks, Young Adult Librarian
