Complete Report of Proposed Changes ​http://www.sjcpl.org/node/11034

Current Library on the First Floor

September 19, 2017, St. Joseph County Public Library, Colfax Auditorium
DISCUSSED:
* Toddler Literacy focus
* Tweens & Teens - Both Quiet and Noisy Areas
* Small Study and Meeting Rooms
* Event Space that can be rented out as a source of revenue
* Culture Center - Gallery Space
* Pop-up Space for Non-profit Temporary Projects
* Stages for performances
* 3rd Party Coffee Shop
* Civic Commons - Outdoor Plaza Space - Semi-enclosed because of our weather
* Rooftop Garden
* User friendly furnishings
* Easily changed technology
* Flexible spaces that can be reconfigured
* Move Studio 304 Maker Space to be more visible 
* Free Standing Shelves that are on castors (Not over 66" high)
* Convenient
* Move meeting areas out of the basement
* Put young kids spaces on the first floor

AUDIENCE CONCERNS:
* Wide open spaces that are hard to heat
* ADA Concerns for entrances
* Not seeing many paper books - Boomers are the ones reading more electronic books
* Audio Books / DVD's declining in use, so this space would be freed up
* There will still be stacks
* Concern about having children on the first floor with people who are a security concern
* Need to look at things we do well and keep those things, not just change things to be changing them
