Change May Be Long In Coming, But Worth Waiting For
It seems to be in the nature of planning that initial schedules are seldom met. The ambitious plan for changes to the Main Floor mentioned in the Spring newsletter which was due to begin in the summer has not yet begun to happen. We here at the Main Desk are continuing to chant “change is good,” but we are going to need a different chant and are open to suggestions.
One of the benefits of a change in floor plan will, we hope, be more room for Books on Cassette. An anonymous donation of Great Courses on cassette offers exciting learning possibilities to our patrons. Each course consists of multiple tapes and at the moment there is no room for them. Some of the titles of courses to look forward to include How to Understand and Listen to Great Music; Elements of Jazz; Great Minds of the Western Intellectual Tradition; Roots of Human Behavior; Early Christianity; Is Anyone Really Normal? Perspectives on Abnormal Psychology; and Great Principles of Science.
The Library has a new web page design and as part of that, the Main Floor has its own blog. This is under construction so the final content has not been decided but at the least there will be a listing of books on order and other lists of new acquisitions. If there is anything else you, as patrons would like to see on our blog, please let us know.
As the Fall season progresses, we continue to anticipate the changes ahead. We hope everyone will be patient during the process and pleased with the results.
