[aisle] What are your favorite recent library improvements or renovations?

[Mrs. Brunner]

We recently remodeled and to keep things light and airy and open, we
purchased white metal shelving.  I absolutely love it. The space seems
modern and very large.
We also installed some booths, like a restaurant, and they are the most
popular seating in the entire room.  I had no idea how many different ways
kids could sit in a booth--it would be a hilarious picture book!
