The Library is a growing organism.


Society has determined what the library of the past has been, and it is society that will determine what the library of the future shall be.

Arming with a laptop and my cell phone I lived for several hours each day in the library’s public spaces. I encountered their experience: The good and the bad. The noise. The furniture variety. The power supply issues. The printing. The supportive energy and excitement. All of it.

“The chief export

of our libraries is

kindness.”

Kate SheehanDarien Library


Things you can do now.


For free.


Ask them what they want from your spaces

and places.


Live in the space too.


Scan, watch & adapt.


Perform a“Kindness Audit.”


Trust them.


Faith is critical to all innovation.

Seth GodinTribes. p. 80


Let go of control, use evidence, evolve, and listen closely to create spaces, places that enable, engage, welcome and inspire your users.
