Boy, did I miss some changes at your library!<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you mentioned the coming renovations, but your story is so reminiscent of what happened in our ES Library that it sends chills down my spine! <BR/><BR/>I'm more determined than ever that we will adopt a different approach to the "renewal" of our Main Library when the time comes (probably a year or so off, as we've just begin construction of a new Fine Arts Centre). If you've not checked my blog recently, take a look at recent posts (Seeking the Middle Way, pt. 1&2, and "Devil's Advocate" at http://edgingahead.edubblogs.org.) Any suggestions for evidence-based resistance to a "slippery-slope" abandonment of traditional reading and research skills and programs would be more than appreciated.Robert J.
