Fresh Eyes

Since February of last year when the renovations began, visitors to the library have probably noticed something new every time they come in: shelving in A/V, the study room, the new program brochures... I walk around the library constantly, and I’m always amazed and proud of how far it’s come in so relatively short a period.

When you work in a place for years, it becomes so familiar to you that you take the way things are for granted. The library has become so dynamic that now I see it with fresh eyes every day. I know what the plans are but when they actually manifest, it thrills me every single time. Yesterday, for example, we mounted in the Audiovisual lounge a piece of art we commissioned from Justin, who works at the circulation desk. It looks fantastic! Last week we launched our first ‘Friday night at the Movies’, a new program for film buffs. And of course, this blog is new too.

Creativity bubbles in this library and more than ever, you will see our staff playing a leading role in making it extraordinary.
