New Canaan Library Expanding Services, Reorganizing Staff
|
As a feasibility study continues for a widely anticipated rebuilding project at New Canaan Library, the staff at the community facility has been working to maximize its space and bolster services for users. In the past month alone, we’ve seen them give the library’s teen area a refresh and got the lowdown on plans to create a pocket park at the Maple Street-South Avenue corner lot with wireless connectivity. We also saw the new MakerLab and 3D printing spotlighted during Teen Tech Week and got a glimpse of some future presentations at the library, such as the 6:30 p.m. program for Tuesday, featuring New Canaan’s George Baker re-enacting John Adams in “My Wife Abigail Adams, the First Modern American Woman.”
What follows is a message about library plans from Library Director Lisa Oldham. “For the last few months, the New Canaan Library has been rapidly reconfiguring its spaces, collections and resources and improving services to update its offerings. We particularly want to respond to the growing demand for even more services.
