I saw a video "Unleash the Users" the other day of the new library in Aarhus, Denmark that asked their users what they wanted to see in a library and incorporated that in their new building.

I love this on many levels. 1. It's a friendly brand. How could you NOT vote for these guys at the polls when funding issues come up. 2. Everything is a part of a whole. I mean, its not like they have books and then everything else is an afterthought. 3. OMFG Someone in libraryland that understands branding and does it well!!!! The only thing I don't like... ...is getting rid of Dewey! Because I think it's just as good as filing bookstore style, IF you have enough signage. I get lost at Borders too! I love this.

I should add that during the 9:00 meeting there was a brief discussion about the "public" nature of events in public library meeting rooms. This involved a tangential discussion about personal property rights, using cupcakes as an example. Ah, yes.

Yet another reason to love my job. I truly believe libraries are for the people, first and foremost. We don't always have the resources we need to make this viable but we do our best. Hello Chris,
