New Silver Spring
Library:
At the
corner of Wayne and Fenton in downtown Silver Spring the new library jets out
over the corner where both streets intersect. It is a majestic-looking
building, truly stunning with lots of glass and sharp angles. Passersby’s stop
and look upward as the workers erect the beams and install the windows. There
is an excitement mounting with each change to the structure.
If you want
to see what the building will look like once it is finished, come to the
present location where the model is on display. The model is on the Information
desk and staff is available to answer your questions about the new building.
Each month
with this blog, I am going to feature a service or piece of equipment that is
going to be in the new building. My goal is to provide you a preview of what to
expect once we open for business.
Here are some answers to the questions that are asked of us
at the branch:
- The library is on the third, fourth and fifth
floor.
- You enter the library off the third floor
elevator. Stairs and an escalator also provide access to the third floor.
- The children's room is located on the fifth floor.
- The
fourth floor is where you will find the public computers.
- Yes, the
seating is going to be comfortable and plentiful.
- The free WIFI will continue.
- There are many more study and small group rooms;
eight to be exact.
- The collection will be larger.
- The staff
size will increase.
- We will be open 69 hours a week over seven days.
Join me next
month where the topic will be technology.
