A Note From the
Executive Director

 

After last week’s newsletter note about library visits, I heard from a director eager to take their staff on visits to libraries that have recently renovated their spaces. This highlights the growing interest in seeking inspiration from the renovation projects of fellow libraries. 

 

Has your library recently undergone renovations, expansions, or revitalizations? We want to hear from you! Share your stories, photos, and insights about the process of rejuvenating your space. Your experiences could inspire and guide other libraries on their own renovation journeys. 

 

Submit your stories to be featured in our Library Spotlight. You can access the submission form here. 

 

Have a great day!
