<div dir="ltr">I am getting a new media center next school year (construction is starting soon). At one architect meeting they wanted no desk. Luckily I was able to voice my concerns and now I am getting a smaller circulation desk. One of my biggest concerns was space for book repairs. I am not sure having no designated area would work. Just my two cents. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 12:21 PM Michele Whisenhunt via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="auto">I think that is over the top crazy.</div></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 10:10 AM Matt Smolka via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Hi,<div>I’m at a middle school and the library is being renovated over the summer. In a meeting with the architects and consultants I mentioned that I did not want a huge circulation desk like we have now. The architects took that to mean I did not want a desk at all and the plans came back with no circ desk and two kiosks by the doors for self checkout. </div><div><br></div><div>Of course the administration has fallen in love with these ideas, and the plans have no where on the floor for a staff workspace. I’ve explained that we need a spot to actually work at and the response was the entire library is our office. Does anyone have a library with no staff workspace? If so how do you like it? </div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone who recently renovated a space have any articles that support having a central point of contact in the library so that students know where they can find assistance?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br><div>
