Haven't seen the library changes lately? You're overdue!

Visit us and see the most recent changes @ your library. They begin with a dramatic change of color in the Youth area...no more pink walls! And more changes are coming.

We hear positive remarks about the creative use of space, additional tables, new equipment, and new look. Come in and see for yourself....

--With more than 900 visitors to our internet room monthly, we have established word processing areas outside of the public internet room to free those computers up for dedicated internet use. For your convenience word processing computers are now located throughout the building.

--Teens use the library both as a social center and a school support. The new area for teens has comfortable seating surrounded by YA books. We thank the Homer Library Friends group whose generosity was instrumental in the many changes in this area. Our local Home Depot store will soon be adding wood flooring to the teen area, courtesy of their community outreach initiative. We have much to be thankful for!

--Eye catching new signage is here!

--The addition of family friendly computer areas allow parents and children to work side-by-side at a pair of computers.

--Separated computer catalogs allow you to search for titles in more private and convenient locations throughout the library.

--Ten new AWE computers each contain more than 45 educational programs for children ages 2 through 10. Spanning seven curriculum areas, these programs are top rated by Children's Technology Review.

--Marketing of subject areas in our library collections has begun.

Discover more than ever before @ Homer Library!
