Description:

You are proud of your collection, your programs, your staff, and your services. But the details of how your library looks and sounds might be what people remember. What would a stranger notice driving to the parking lot, walking up the front door, spending time in the front lobby, the basement, or the stacks? Can you look at your library workplace with fresh eyes and find ways to make it shine?
