Pickering Library Transfiguration
Just in time for Halloween, our library is going
through an amazing transfiguration!
If you have been into the Pickering Library lately, you may have noticed a lot of action going on. The regular deliveries three times a week from the Wheelock Library storage collection are bringing wonderful material into our library, and we’re working hard to integrate additional items.
In fact, we are planning to add shelving in our Computer Lab in order to accommodate more of those great collections. They include not only books, but also innovative manipulative materials that help children learn math, music, social skills, science, reading, art, and more. The lab will be closed for about two weeks for the installation of the shelves.
Our library is busier than ever. Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development students are looking for desk space to study, but do not often use the desktop computers in the lab. So, we’re actually taking some out to free up the desk space in the middle of the room, add more book shelving around the outside walls, and we’ll be adding a new study table as well!
But most of all, we want to know what YOU think! Tweet us your ideas: what would you like to see in the library? What should we do more of, or less of? Please know we are listening – through our regular library surveys, through the comments books in many of our areas, through Facebook and Twitter, through your purchase suggestions, and just in everyday conversations with our community: we build the library together!
