I work at a library in a town of about 1500 people. The building is too small, we have too little shelf space & we don’t have near the perks we want to offer the public. We’re in the process of trying to get things together to build a new one. It’s a daunting project for such a small town, but the need is real & we won’t quit until we have our new library.
Besides books & magazines, we offer DVDs, videos & CDs for rental. We have 3 computers for public use & we have wireless connection. We need a lot more room & we want 6 computers. We offer a summer story hour program that runs through all of June.
The head librarian is great & we have a library board that cooperates with us. If someone wants a book that we don’t have inhouse, we have an interlibrary system that we can order it from other libraries in the state. Altho we’re small & need a new facility, it’s great fun to work there, & we do the best we can with what we have.
