Chain, Chain, Change........

I love the fact that the mission statement shows that this Library adapts to the changing community and the evolving technology and ideas. Like a patron said today: "This Library is a whole different world". She has never seen what we offer, in the other libraries from where she lived before: No computer classes, no downloadable media, no 100 limit on items for checkout.
I enjoy the Gaming nights a lot, which also adapt to the evolving technology, first we had a Gaming Pod with an Xbox and Dance Dance Revolution, then we got a Nintendo Wii console with cool games and now we have Rockband and more up to date games! So yes, the Library is a good place to play and learn at the same time.

I also think that we connect our community by our Family Movie Nights, people gather and new friendships are made, and family bonds grow stronger.

The DaVinci article about libraries is very interesting, we are already offering some of the services suggested. For example the say to Preserve the Memories of our community, well we have the Orlando memory Database.
It's true that we offer computer classes as a resource for people that want to learn new technologies but it would be good if we offered a series of guest lectures on different technologies.
And we should definetly have creative spaces, as for now we offer programs fro Teen and Children creativity trough crafts, songs, gaming workshops and gaming related to musical instruments, but we should do it for everybody with these creative spaces the article talks about.

So in general, I think we are on the right track. We just have to keep it up.
