More Color, New Seating in Teen Area

On Sunday, April 10, Deirdre McManus and I, along with two Teen Think Tank members Josh and Ella, and their father Jon Hunt, painted the long wall that faces the Young Adult L to Z fiction, with Cupid's Dart purple. This is the same shade of purple that was painted 3 years ago on the Young Adult area's window wall. Also, in the teen area, Mr. Hunt and his daughter Ella took on the difficult task of painting the slanted triangle ceiling drop downs, with Squish Squash yellow.  The yellow has warmed up, what was a cold grayish white.  The purple color will help to give a visual cue that the Young Adult fiction continues across the aisle.  The purple paint also connects and increases the "gallery" space available for Young Adult art displays with the addition of the hanging systems on that wall that were purchased last summer.

The teen area now has a new, cozy, comfortable booth with a full spectrum lamp, and a new colorful area rug.  These additions to the teen area were purchased thanks to a recent donation to the Library that was given in memory of Rosella Coughlin.  The booth, in the short time since it arrived, has become a favorite place for teens in the library, especially for tutors and students.  There have been orders for fries and a soda, but all that could be served was from chef Dewey 641-642.  Please stop by the teen area to see the new seating and colorful changes.
