\nAs some\u00a0of you know, Scholes Library experienced a bit of “disaster” last week. \u00a0A weather related radiator issue caused a small flood on our ground floor (Engineering Area). \u00a0Library staff were at the ready and all library materials were saved by our prepared and quick-thinking staff. \u00a0We were assisted by an all-hands-on-deck call to\u00a0dedicated physical plant staff who stopped the fooding and worked quickly to dry us out. \u00a0We are extremely grateful and proud of our prepared and quick-thinking college staff who suffered little more than “wrinkled toes” from the flooding and clean-up.
\nFrom this unfortunate event springs a wonderful opportunity for\u00a0Scholes Library. \u00a0As we prepare to put the space into functional order\u00a0we are able to dream a little. \u00a0Do we really need these book stacks? \u00a0Have many of these titles\u00a0and journals\u00a0been replaced by electronic content? \u00a0Are\u00a0there a better uses for this space that could address an\u00a0immediate study need? \u00a0Can we use this opportunity to build a space in Scholes Library that will foster creativity and bring classroom learning to life?
\nKnow that your library is looking to turn this\u00a0unfortunate event into a innovative library space that will be designed for comfort and productivity and ….. \u00a0YOU\u00a0<\/strong>CAN\u00a0<\/strong>HELP. \u00a0What are your thoughts? \u00a0What are your needs?<\/strong>
