The lobby of the Main Library has a new greeter! This dinosaur visited the Main Library a couple years ago, and we had a naming contest for it at that time - can you guess what the kids named it? 🦖
(Thanks to our friends at Arizona Museum of Natural History for our dino pal!)

The Gateway Library is one of two winners in the "Public Libraries - 30,000 sq. ft. and under" category. The Gateway Library was designed by architects and interior designers . Winning projects will be honored later this month at the annual ALA conference in Chicago. Congratulations to all!
