[aisle] Innovation Center

Fri Nov 5 10:24:50 CDT 2021

I agree with Liz!!!  I enjoy constantly working to update everyone's
perception of what a library contains (more than "just books") !  But we
still call it "The Library"  because trendy terms come and go, but the
Library *always* has the cool stuff for finding, making, and sharing
information, resources, and all kinds of knowledge.
