New carpet was installed in the Panther Den in the middle of June and the shelves were also rearranged. The stacks that stood out in the middle of the room have been mounted to the walls and the computers have been moved to one location at the back of the room on the whiteboard side. The result: a very open floor plan :) I'm excited to start the new school year with the library feeling much larger. I still have to move the rest of the fiction collection and reshelve the nonfiction books but it will be worth the effort.
My goal is to halve the library - the side where you enter will be for recreational reading and lounging and the far side will be for reference and research teaching. I may even try some theater style seating for the 9th grade Library Media Skills when it's in session. Here is an early photo of the carpet, let me know what you think! I'll try to remember to take some of the shelving up the next time I go to school.
