Analysis
As we expand and remodel the Warmack Library, we are reusing some furniture, and buying new to:
• Clearly divide the space into children’s, teen and adult using furniture, color and layout
• Create a children’s library and program room to be a center for early literacy with adjustable floor space (furniture rolls out of the way) for programs and classes.
• Create an adult program room, study rooms, reading nooks using lower shelving for visibility, computer carrels, reading nooks, and stackable desks and chairs to create a flexible adult program space,
This furniture is either on a state cooperative buying agreement, or was bid.
