New Canaan Library’s Teen Area Is Getting a Fresh New Look
|
The teen services area at New Canaan Library is getting a fresh new look and feel thanks to an upgrade led by the venerable facility’s first-ever teen services librarian. Cheryl Capitani, who has been in the role since joining the library staff in December, said she’s making it a priority to create a more welcoming, teen-friendly space. “We were very fortunate to get a targeted donation from a generous donor for some new furniture for the teen area here,” Capitani told NewCanaanite.com Tuesday morning as she cleared shelves in the area, located in the southeast corner of the facility (where if you’re sitting there, you’re looking out at the bench and parking lots that come off of Maple Street). Capitani with the help of a Teen Advisory Board is selecting colors and furniture for the space now. “It’s a really fun project we are working on together,” she said and added, pointing to the wall shown at right: “Hopefully this week, that wall is going to be painted.”
Within a month or so, the furniture should be ordered and on its way.
