Aurora looks to future of libraries. (Daily Herald, 12/19/2011)
Excerpt: Audience members who participated in the roundtables listed a number of things they would like to see in the new Aurora Public Library. Among them were:
• an imagination/creative lab;
• genius bar;
• programs that reach out to all age groups;
• interconnection with school and university libraries;
• movable walls;
• physical data storage;
• soundproof performance room;
• community garden;
• roaming librarians (in the library and throughout the community);
• and SMART Boards all over.
One group said its members’ goal for a future Aurora Public Library is that it be the “guardian of the community memory.”
