Help Design the New Teen Area

As you may know, the Central Library will be undergoing a complete renovation starting in 2009.

Help us design the NEW TEEN AREA for the Library - give us your ideas for all the things that you want in the library: furniture, lighting, colors, fabrics, layout for computers, study areas, shelving, and anything else you can think of.

Post your comments here and we'll respond every day or so. We really want to know. It will be YOUR space at the library.

Here are some pics to get your ideas growing:

okay, i really love that we now have this blogsite. My ideas for the new teen space:
-squishy couches/chairs
-computers rock
-it would be cool to have a cafe kind of theme =)
-snack bar?? that sells muffins, cookies,hot chocolate, something like a starbucks or coffee shop
-music???
those were just some random thoughts from me and a couple of my friends. thanks for listening!!

We were thinking bean bag chairs and maybe those lightweight stadium chairs. A cafe theme is another strong possibility.

Computers are something we really want - but it depends on the funds available.

There will be a larger vending area, but a snack bar is unlikely. Sorry!

Music during programs, but unlikely most of the time.

We're thinking of a "Mammoth theme" in the children's area. Would that be good or bad in the teen area? (I have no opinion on that one).
